can someone explain how to install it on windows? do I have to install cygwin or can I do it in Ms Dos prompt? will I use the last code that is written in this thread or will I use both, ( i.e, the last and the second from the last) ?

For the Perl based cutter in this thread you can use Cygwin but you can also use ActiveState Perl:
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/
The Perl cutter works fine but it has a few issues:
1. It only 'cuts' jobs and nothing else like shared containers, etc.
2. It drops some lines from DSX files it processes that contain certain meta-characters.
In a few days I'll try to post my cutter that I wrote that, in theory, will correct these two issues. Mine will have a requirement of installing Python instead of Perl...
thanks!

Here is a link for a bunch of Perl scripts I have written, including a cutter, joiner, and parameter block replacer. Feel free to use them!
