No. Cygwin goes out of its way to change environment variables to upper case. Environment variables in windows, on NT+ at least, can be mixed case. Unfortunately, sometimes you find things like "Path" instead of "PATH" so Cygwin needs to rectify that. To repeat, translating environment variables to uppercase is something that *cygwin* does. Check out environ.cc for more information. cgf -- 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/
