Thanks Nirmalya and Steiner for your help.    

  Do I need to do any installation on UNIX server? I assume not.   When I start cygwin from my PC I get the prompt : bash-3.00$.   pwd gives : /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin
  i tried startx but it gave error : command not found   /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh : bad interpreter. no such file   i tried xhost <ipofunixserver> : command not found    

  Maybe     

When you install cygwin, make sure you install the xwindows options. Then from cygwin run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh Then type xhost ip address of your oracle server. From your oracle server export DISPLAY=your pc address.

  All you have to do is:
1. open a cygwin window
2. startx
