I have seen the need to take windows paths conversion into account only when dealing with Java apps from within cygwin: e.g. a tomcat appserver, where the catalina.sh converts cygwin paths into windows ones before sending them to the JVM, that doesn't understand them. Other than that, I fail to understand what is the use for this. Could you please elaborate on a use case for such a configuration? Also note that, following your example, you can still reach /cygpath/c/windows/etc without converting anything. -- Huella de clave primaria: 0FDA C36F F110 54F4 D42B D0EB 617D 396C 448B 31EB
