Thanks for your prompt response. Are there any obstacles to get 3. option (interix) R/W? Obviously, it would have to be marked somehow (mentioned CYGWIN?), and a global switch is just desired. Otherwise switching from Cygwin to Linux would still be painful - if possible I'd want to forget about all-these "converters", even if invented by me in my original mail ;) Regards, Waldemar. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
