I applied the patch which adds the CW_SYNC_WINCWD code and I updated the documentation accordingly. I uploaded the rewritten chapter about using the Win32 file API here: http://cygwin.de/cygwin-ug-177/using.html#pathnames-win32-api Please have a look. As for the documentation about CW_SYNC_WINENV, it's already in the "official" docs at http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html#setup-env-win32 HTH, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- 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
