The reason why I just implemented -s (in 1999) was that GetLongPathName is not available for Win95. If we have to be Win95-compatible still, you will have to load the function yourself directly form the DLL and use FindFirstFile (as mensioned in the MSDN docs for *GetShortPathName*) for every part of the path if the function is not available. Regards, Jorg ---- Corinna, you've seen my own patch for cygpath.cc in cygwin-apps ? Chris already answered positivly and RH should have the assignment from late 1999 still. My diff was against the sources from 14.5...
