Regardless of who created the script, we are not going to change Cygwin. As I said, the whole point of Cygwin is to avoid the use of Window/MS-DOS things like C:\foo. Specifically patching programs like ksh to handle MS-DOS paths is not something that makes sense in that context. cgf -- 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
