Okay point taken. Stupid trivial script aside...
Why does:
"cygpath -w ." return ".\" instead of "."
"cygpath -m ." return "./" instead of "."
And why does:
"cygpath -w dir" return "dir" instead of "dir\"
"cygpath -m dir" return "dir" instead of "dir/"
Shouldn't:
"cygpath -w ."
"cygpath -m ."
"cygpath -u ."
return "." in all three cases?
I don't understand the difference/reasoning.
thanks,
Trev

So here on line one, you're asking for a windoze-format path.
> FILE="$BASEDIR/out.txt"
And here on line two, you're concatenating a unix-style path to the
windoze-style path you previously asked for. That looks like a bug to me.

WDDTT!
