Yes, yes, I'm aware that if you explicitly mount a drive, you'll have that mount point instead of /cygdrive (that's what I meant by "special mounts" in <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-08/msg00679.html>). I was making a point that even if the drive doesn't exist, cygpath will convert it to a /cygdrive form, e.g., $ mount -c /idontthinkitwilleverdie $ ls q: ls: q:: No such file or directory $ cygpath -u q: /idontthinkitwilleverdie/q Igor -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
