BTW, now that Java Basically, I am a lazy programmer, taking the path of least resis- tance. If U're running this from bash (what most folks mean by 'the Cygwin shell'), use command replacement and cygpath, and U don't have to mess around with a DLL: ~/> groovy $(cygpath -w /path/to/file/in/question/y.xml) Cygpath with the -w qualifier will convert Cygwin paths to Windows paths, and U can avoid all the DLL messiness. This all happens at launch, correct? Launching another process, although it takes time, is most easliy hidden from the end user at process launch; it's when U can afford the delay most. It's at least worth a try. -------------------------------------------------------- Goss ...
