Of course, a second problem is that win32 names will retain drive numbers, but stuff in filetools should take care of that. A grep shows a lot of uses of slashify_path, I wonder what would happen if we changed these to internal_path. As far as I can see, this could do harm only on cygwin... I would say that all paths that come from the os should go through internal_path and then external_path should be used for all processes invocations. JMarc
