"mkshortcut" is a good idea, though, much more to the point of the app. The name came from a function call and .c file in cygwin's setup.exe source. In the archive the executable is actually prog.exe--easier to TAB-complete--because I wasn't sure of the name myself. I guess you noticed it was version 0.1 anyway... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
