Scott, "mount" is part of the "cygwin" package, so it should work if you've installed Cygwin. "man mount" is another story, however. A search for "man1/mount.1" on <http://cygwin.com/packages/> reveals that you need the "cygwin-doc" package. Sorry for my assumption that it is installed automatically. Igor

You only need to mount this once - the mount table is persistent. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
