I agree. > set HOME=C:/foo <- same I strongly disagree. In fact I set HOME in the Windows environment expecting Cygwin to map it correctly so that I can have a common HOME for multiple installations of Cygwin. It also allows me to to use %HOME% in Windows scripts. > set HOME=//foo/bar <- same I agree. > set HOME=/foo/bar <- valid, taken I slightly disagree. It boggles Windows scripts that could make use of the variable and would only work for scripts where the working directory device contains /foo/bar. -- cyg Simple -- 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
