The code uses ISO C99 strrchr() and BSD/GNU setenv(), but you'll probably want Cygwin for the all the Unix functions (getpwuid(), execv(), fork(), etc.) anyway. I just did "make shell". :-) > Is the intent simply to copy shell.exe into /usr/bin? Yes, I put it in /bin and changed c:/cygwin/cygwin.bat to use that instead.

It's a trivial program I wrote with reference to no other programs. I hereby release it into the public domain. Use it as you like. > I've tried it on my system, and it's working well.
