I'd be surprised to see your "alias" work with win32-gvim and cygwin paths (symlinks, absolute cygwin paths, ...) For this sole purpose, I'm maintaining a generic wrapper for win32 native applications we wish to start from cygwin (cyg-wrapper.sh, check my signature) NB: I've been reported a bug lately. It seems tied to a bug/regression in cygpath 1.42 which seems to have forgotten a 0-terminal when called with -wl. -- Luc Hermitte http://hermitte.free.fr/cygwin/ -- 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/
