Cygwin 1.3.18(0.69/3/2) handles filenames like /usr/local/share/gforth/0.5.9-20030201\kernl32l.fi
all right, where the "\" is meant as a path separator. Cygwin 1.3.19(0.71/3/2) and 1.3.20 reportedly do not like such names (file not found). Is this intentional and will it stay that way? If so, how should I deal with path names where parts of the path come from ordinary windows users? Background: We use Cygwin for the Windows port of Gforth (http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/). The Windows port currently produces mixes like the above by default, and we could change that; but I am worried about paths coming from the users (e.g., through the GFORTHPATH environment variable), which may use either way. - anton -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
