Igor, So does this mean that Cygwin doesn't do any file munging? Is this something that applications are normally left to deal with? I found this post that mentions how samba deals with similar problems: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05701.html I know that cygwin can't just write a file called c:\foo:bar.txt but shouldn't there be some sort of translation to be able to deal with this situation, or is it contrary to the design philosophy of cygwin in some way? -Ben [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
