OK, let's go by parts...

The problem here is that the order in which the tar options come is
important: whatever comes after the 'f' is being taken by Cygwin as a
file name.
Also, note in the download webpage that you should extract this file in
the root directory, not home.
So, try the following:
1. put the file in the root directory. In Cygwin, you can do:
$mv g95-x86-cygwin.tgz /
2. Go to the root dir:
$cd /
3. Extract the file:
$tar zxvf g95-x86-cygwin.tgz

This isn't going to work. You need to run Amber's configure program,
which is located in the Amber src directory. Did you read the "INSTALL"
file in the Amber directory? There are some details on how to install
amber there.

Assuming all the above steps for the g95 installation worked well, you
can now start the Amber installation:
1. Set the AMBERHOME varable:
$ export AMBERHOME=~/amber9
$ export PATH=$AMBERHOME/exe:$PATH
2. Move to the directory where the amber source is located
$cd $AMBERHOME/src
3. Run ./configure:
$./configure -cygwin g95
4. Finally, if all goes well, you can install Amber:
$make serial
Again, take your time to read the instructions in the $AMBERHOME/INSTALL
file. Also, as Prof. Case pointed out,

Note that this will *not* give you a "WinAmber" version. You should
still use it as you would use a regular Unix Amber installation, from
within Cygwin. Under Cygwin, Amber will be considerably slower than
under real Unix systems, but it can be convenient for small calculations.
