Not that I know, reason why I (must) have Cygwin... > we can generalize this function. Why not replacing it simply by `executable-find': I don't see what it adds to it? I would not say so if it was some upper abstraction, but I do feel they're simply the same. If not, the opposite should be done: replacing the 10 calls to `executable-find' by calls to `org-program-exists'... Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
