I have successfully installed Cygwin on Windows 2000 SP3. However, when I attempt to run a bash shell script that works fine under Linux, two problems occur.
1. The bash "local" builtin does not seem to work. Error message is "local: not found". 2. Both shorthand formats "&>file" and ">&file" for redirecting standard output and standard error do not work. However, the longhand equivalent ">file 2>&1" does work. Strangely, both of the above features work from the bash command line (but not from a shell script). Cygwin version is 1.3.12-4. Bash version is 2.05b-5. An earlier version 2.05a-3 also fails.
