nice idea, but how does he execute cygpath, if he doesn't know the cygwin-root? he is talking about a _batch_-script, not a shell script.>I have experienced many times situations which I would like to refer to >CYGWIN's root directory from a bat script.

there is only one solution, because even if you know cygwin's root-dir, yu cannot be sure to know cygwin's bin-dir - it could be mounted to a totally different directory.
i would recomm writing shell-scripts instead of batch-scripts.
