This: /cygdrive/c/jdk1.6.0_16<cr> /bin/java displays thus: /bin/java/c/jdk1.6.0_16<cr> $echo "/cygdrive/c/jdk1.6.0_16\r/bin/java" /bin/java/c/jdk1.6.0_16 $echo "/cygdrive/c/jdk1.6.0_16\r/bin/java" |od -t a 0000000 / c y g d r i v e / c / j d k 1 0000020 . 6 . 0 _ 1 6 cr / b i n / j a v 0000040 a nl -- 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
