Since some (most?) Unix shells have a "convenience feature" to reinterpret multiple forward slashes as a single slash, could this behavior break existing scripts or makefiles? Also, there is a strange discrepancy in how the current (non-snapshot) version of Cygwin 1.5.16-1 handles multiple forward slashes. I compared it's handling of some 'ls' commands to that of bash on Linux RHAS 2.1. When listing '/', all the following commands work the same on both systems: 1. ls / 2. ls // 3. ls /// 4. ls //// However, when listing a directory under '/', command #2 behaves differently in Cygwin: 1. ls /etc 2. ls //etc (* - fails only on Cygwin, see below) 3. ls ///etc 4. ls ////etc (*) On Cygwin, command #2 returns: ----------------------------------------- $ ls //etc ls: //etc: No such file or directory ----------------------------------------- Regards, Sonam Chauhan -- Electronic Commerce, Corporate Express Australia Ltd.
