can you think of any better way to start bash?
the above creates two bash.exe in memory:
one executing /etc/profile and the cd-command
and one showing the prompt.

bash --login -c "command"
exits after executing the command.
is there any bash-internal command, that let's you show a prompt after

help on error when starting xWin

[Pan]

When I start xWindows in my laptop computer, this is the error message.

c:\cygwin\usr\x11r6\bin\XWin.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for
cygwin's heap (0x289) in child
, cygheap, Win32 error 487
giving up.
xinit:  No such file or directory (errno 2):  unable to connect to X
server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

but I did this quite well in another computer with the same
configuration, the only difference is that computer has 512M memory and
my laptop has 256M memory.

Is the xWindows very memory-consuming when starting?

Thanks.

The first shell executes a single line of shell commands, namely to change directory 
and run another shell.
The second shell runs as the "normal" interactive shell. 
Net effect - looks like the shell has started in a different directory. Admittedly a 
bit hacky, having two shells running for no good reason, but 
it does the job. I'm not sure if shells are very expensive in terms of memory. If not, 
then its a bit kludgey, but otherwise its ok.

There's bound to be... anyone got any idea?
I saw another posting to the list where the cd gets written to a file then the login 
script looks for the file and changes to that dir... that's an 
option.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: expat-1.95.5-1

[Gerrit P. Haase]

expat-1.95.5-1 has been uploaded to the Cygwin net distribution.

Expat is an XML parser library written in C.

It is a stream-oriented parser in which an application registers 
handlers for things the parser might find in the XML document 
(like start tags). 


CHANGES (since expat-1.95.4-1):

- Added XML_UseForeignDTD() for improved SAX2 support.
- Added XML_GetFeatureList().
- Defined XML_Bool type and the values XML_TRUE and XML_FALSE.
- Use an incomplete struct instead of a void* for the parser.
- Fixed UTF-8 decoding bug that caused legal UTF-8 to be rejected.
- Finally fixed bug where default handler would report DTD events
  that were already handled by another handler. Initial patch
  contributed by Darryl Miles.
- Removed unnecessary DllMain() function that caused static
  linking into a DLL to be difficult.
- Added VC++ projects for building static libraries.
- Reduced line-length for all source code and headers to be no
  longer than 80 characters, to help with AS/400 support.
- Reduced memory copying during parsing (SF patch #600964).
- Fixed a variety of bugs: see SF issues 580793, 434664, 483514,
  580503, 581069, 584041, 584183, 584832, 585537, 596555, 596678,
  598352, 598944, 599715, 600479, 600971


INSTALLATION:

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link
on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to
your system.  Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick
up `expat' from the `Libs' category.

Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need
to find a mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/mirrors/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
is a reliable high bandwidth connection.

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is updated fast.

In Denmark, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date,
packages are in the 'release' directory.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package
you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another
mirror.

For a brief descripton of what this package is and what it contains,
see http://cygwin.com/packages/ .

Re: Cygwin Here power toy

[Andrew Ellerton]

Hi Gerrit

Many thanks for your response.

I didn't know about the CygwinPromptHere - I'd done a search before doing my 
quick-and-dirty solution but I didn't find anything. Thanks for 
letting me know about that.

I had been concerned about the lack of configurability of the tool, but thought for 
the time being it was probably enough for some users. I'll 
put a note up on the site about the lack of configurability.

There are quite a few options that come to mind, e.g. csh/bash/tcsh, rxvt/cmd, C: or 
other drives, etc.

Do you think that if it had a GUI for picking these options that it would be useful, 
or would you think most people would prefer/be happy 
with a command line version?

Any comments appreciated
Andrew

Problems with most recent snapshot

[Christopher Faylor]

I've noticed a strange hanging problem with the most recent 2002-10-19
and 2002-10-20 snapshots.

Since I've been exhorting people to use snapshots, I thought I should
let everyone know.  I'll post another message when I've figured out
what's going on.

This is, of course, the standard hang where I can't use gdb (or even
MSVC) to debug the problem because it hangs.

Problem with stat.st_blksize

[Guillaume Melquiond]

Hi,

Some times ago, when I used the command 'du' to get the size of a directory,
I got a value that was in accordance with the value given by Windows.
However, it isn't the case anymore now; 'du' returns a size less than the
files space usage.

So I had a glance to the source code and I saw that the field 'st_blksize'
from the system call 'stat' was initialized with 'S_BLKSIZE' (which is a
macro set to 1024). But my filesystem uses 4096 bytes blocks. I looked at
the winsup cvs to see why it worked before; but unless I did a mistake, it
seems 'S_BLKSIZE' has always been here.

Why is this field not set to a proper value? One moment, I thought Windows
was returning a wrong value. But I tried with 'statfs' and the value was
correct. So maybe 'st_blksize' should be computed the same way than
'f_bsize'.

Regards,

Guillaume

PS: Since I'm not suscribed to this mailing-list, please cc me if you expect
an answer that cleanly inserts in a thread. Otherwise, I will follow the
discussion through the archive.

PPS: Here is an exemple to show the behavior difference between 'stat' and
'statfs'.

$ cat test.c
#include 
#include 
#include 
#include 

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  struct stat buf1;
  struct statfs buf2;
  stat(argv[1], &buf1);
  statfs(argv[1],&buf2);
  printf("st_blksize:\t%d\nf_bsize:\t%d\n", buf1.st_blksize, buf2.f_bsize);
  return 0;
}

$ gcc test.c -o test

$ ./test test.c
st_blksize: 1024
f_bsize:4096

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygwinHere\command]

The problem for me is that I cannot choose the PATH
when using the installer, my bash.exe is in H:\bin and not
in C:\cygwin\bin.  I can edit the .reg file though and
don't use the installer (and have no uninstall).  To make
use of it I still need to edit the registry :-(

The version I use includes an installer and an uninstall.
Well, you start it from a bash command line and the
install script asks some questions, but the paths are
ok and you may uninstall it using the control panels
add/remove software tool.

Have you tried it?

Also I would like to choose which terminal to use,
I prefer rxvt instead of cmd.

Mike,

On the tcsh command line, type 'ls temp*' (no Enter), then press Ctrl-X
and then press '*'.  This should expand to the three filenames below.  If
it instead expands to 'temp\*', you probably have noglob set, as Jon
LaBadie suggested (see
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg01167.html ).
Another way of checking whether noglob is set is 'set | grep noglob' at
the tcsh prompt.

If noglob is set, try 'unset'ting it and executing 'ls temp*' again.  If
that makes it work, you have to track down which startup script sets
noglob (probably ~/.tcshrc, ~/.cshrc or /etc/csh.cshrc).  Try starting
tcsh with the '-f' option to not execute those scripts, and see if it
fixes the problem.  You will then want to edit the offending script and
comment out the 'set noglob' line.

FYI, to find out *exactly* what is executed on tcsh startup, run 'tcsh -X
-c "exit" 2>&1' and capture the output (note the capital X).  Everything
printed before 'exit' is in your startup scripts.

The first shell executes a single line of shell commands, namely to change

expensive in terms of memory. If not, then its a bit kludgey, but 
otherwise its ok.

There are not (ever) two shells running as a result of invoking this 
command string. The second one overlays the first in the same process. 
That's what the "exec" built-in of the shells does.

Note that the directory name expanded as "~" is $HOME. If $HOME is not set, 
"~" expands to the empty string. The "~userName" syntax consults the 
password file, so it still works even in the absence of a $HOME variable.

Steve,

When a 'cvs commit' is invoked without the -m option, an editor is started
to create the message.  Which editor is started is determined (in order of
priority) by the -e flag, the CVSEDITOR environment variable, the VISUAL

what the values of these varaibles are (if they are set).  In case none of
these variables are set, cvs invokes the system default editor (i.e.

I still don't see how the "16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem" is being engaged.  All
your path directories appear to be on the local drive, are there any
symlinks for executables to other drives?  What is in your initialization
files (e.g., ~/.cvsrc)?

You have an old cygwin1.dll in C:\PalmDev\pilrc-2.8\.  That sometimes
causes problems with odd symptoms.  Make absolutely sure it is not in use
when you are running cvs.  Renaming it and rebooting might be worthwhile. 
A newer set of Palm tools that uses a newer Cygwin (if available) would
also be a good idea.

Someone else will have to help you, I'm not any sort of CVS expert.

cvs-1.11.0-1 fails to build

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Hi,

I'm having a problem building cvs-1.11.0-1.  GDBM_EXPORT is not picked up
as a macro (which I assume it is, as it's used to declare functions), and
this results in parse errors and gcc being generally unhappy.  I'm
attaching the exact error message.
This is probably because I have gdbm-1.8.0-4, and cvs lists gdbm-1.8.0-3
in its dependences, although Chuck Wilson apparently received no
complaints during the test period (
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-02/msg01333.html ).

This problem has apparently been reported back in March, but to the wrong
list: http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs/2002-March/026364.html

Openssh client under X

[Jacob A]

Hey there,

I have a real weird problem with running the openssh client under X. When
I connect to another machine via ssh, it prompts me for the password, and
then the session is terminated just after I am logged in.

unfortunately, I dont have root access on the machine I want to ssh to, so
I cant start sshd with -D there.

It works perfectly when I do it without starting X.

Anyone else come across this problem?

I'm not a subscriber to the list, so please reply to me as well as the
list if you have any input.

/jay.

You need to include the extensions for .com or .bat files to get them to

bash -c

[g frances]

Hi,
I'm new to cygwin and have a simple question.  Tried to find the answer on 
the mailing list search archive, but no luck.  I've just downloaded the 
lastest version of Cygwin on Windows 2000 Professional, SP2.  When trying to 
invoke a command at the NT command prompt like the following:
c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c "cp /testdir/test* /testdir2"

This error occurs--
cp: testdirtest*: The system cannot find the file specified.


But when invoking the same command by just typing within the cygwin shell, 
it works.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks.  I discovered that on re-reading the UG yesterday.  What
is the philosophy of that decision?

That diagnostic suggests that the command you really entered was this:

c:\cygwin\bin\bash -c "cp \testdir\test* \testdir2"

What you wrote above is (syntactically) correct. What I inferred you 
actually typed is not, since the backslashes are special in a POSIX 
environment and are not that realm's native file separator. Cygwin 
tolerates both Windows and POSIX file name syntaxes (including either 
forward or backward slashes), but that doesn't absolve you from quoting and 
escaping special characters such as backslash to keep them from having 
their special meaning to the Cygwin shell(s).

I recommend you drop the CMD.exe environment and use the power of Cygwin 
and its POSIX / GNU Tools environment alone. You can still invoke 
non-Cygwin programs from Cygwin, you know.

Likewise, you can also directly invoke Cygwin commands from CMD.exe, 
providing you have your local Cygwin bin directory in your Windows PATH. If 
you do that you can invoke Cygwin commands such as "cp" without the 
gyrations of using a shell with the "-c" option. (Be sure it's the Windows 
directory name: "C:\cygwin\bin" you add to the Windows PATH variable.) In 
this case, since BASH was able to execute "cp" without using an absolute 
name, I assume you've already done this.

I'm not completely well-versed on this detail, but I'm under the impression 
that the interpretation of "*" is different when a Cygwin command is 
invoked directly from a Windows CMD.exe. (In a fully Cygwin context, the 
shell itself handles wildcard expansion, but Cygwin programs have special 
startup code that's activated when they're launched from a non-Cygwin 
parent process. That special startup code detects the presence of the 
wild-card character in the arguments and expands them as CMD.exe would).

sshd: no remote connect possible

[Christian R Molls]

Hi everybody,

I started using cygwin a couple of days ago, primarily to be able to
access my windows system from work via ssh/sftp. I installed it to a
FAT32 partiton, added openssh, configured the server as described in
the howto at tech.erdelynet.com and everything worked out-of-the-box. I
could log in to my cygwin system from localhost and from the linux box
at work.

As I liked cygwin a lot (in fact I was absolutely fascinated), I decided
to put it onto a larger NTFS drive to have more room to play with Xfree,
gcc, apache etc. I deleted my old cygwin installation and started from
scratch. Everything is working fine, however I can no longer access my
system via ssh from the outside.

When I try to connect from a remote linux box, all I get is "connecting
to port 22" and nothing happens (see below).

, [ trying to connect from a remote machine ]
| [~]$ ssh -v xxx.xxx

| debug1: Connecting to xxx.xxx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] port 22.

`

It seems as if port 22 was only accessible locally, but not from the
outside. I am not behind a firewall. XPs built-in firewall is turned
off as well.

cygwin is installed on an NTFS drive with system variable CYGWIN set
to "ntsec tty". I have used "ssh-host-config -y" to configure sshd and
entered those values there as well.

The server seems to start up ok:

RE: Problems

[Doug Whiting]

Thanks. No offense taken, though I actually had searched through the
gcc/chmod stuff fairly carefully, and nothing suggested there had worked. I
finally just turned OFF the ntsec stuff (CYGWIN=nontsec), and that fixed the
problem!  It appears that there's a bug of some sort with either the new
default setting or the ntsec functionality itself. Anyway, now chmod and gcc
work fine, but I'm not sure how I should have guessed to go against the
grain by turning off the feature that is claimed by all the emails to fix
the bug :-(

The emacs C-X C-c worked after adding the tty element, but I had to take out
the space before and after '=' in the batch file.  That is
   set CYGWIN = tty
did not work, but
   set CYGWIN=tty
did work!  Anyway, thanks for that pointer, as it was not at all obvious
from the (too many) matches to my search queries. Kinda seems like tty
should be the default, but in any case I'm up and rolling now.

Thanks again.

Normally people are assumed to make a reasonable effort in searching the
archives, and it's understood that it's hard to phrase a query
correctly.
However, in this case, searching for "gcc exe not executable" (in the
October archives) produced multiple relevant messages.  I refer you to
those.
FYI, ntsec is on by default in Cygwin-1.3.13+.

Same problem as above.  FWIW, you could have searched for "chmod doesn't
work".

Again, the proper search query is "emacs Ctrl-C"...  As there are quite
a
few unrelated messages in the results, I'll answer this one: you should
look into the 'tty' setting in your CYGWIN variable.

Archive search and Google are your friends. :-D

In this case, the shell should still be handling the wildcards since they
are quoted.

I ran into this problem, and solved it by backing out Chuck's gdbm changes,
instead building cvs in its flat-file mode. I needed to do this so I had a
cvs which could act on repositories created using this method.

I don't know what you want to use it for, but unless you want to
specifically want to use gdbm, this may be acceptable. As the cvs docs say,

Thanks, Max, this looks like exactly what I need -- I just needed to build
a debuggable cvs for tracking down another problem (not in the gdbm
module).

When I have some time, I'll look into patching cvs to build with the new
gdbm...

Re: Openssh client under X

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Umm, how embarrassing...  I got confused between OpenSSH and SSH Secure
Shell.  Apologies to all.

Jay,

ssh has a special mode where it forwards X requests over the ssh
connection.  It's called X forwarding, and is enabled by either the -X
command line option or a special entry in ~/.ssh/config (I forget exactly
which, it's easily found out from the man page).  If the special entry is
present, ssh will attempt to set up X forwarding, *but only if DISPLAY is
set*.  That was the reason I asked about the DISPLAY setting.

You can try running ssh as 'ssh -x', which disables X forwarding
regardless of the config file.  If all you need is to run tty mode
programs on the server, or if your machine is reachable and open to X
packets from the server, that should be sufficient.  If 'ssh -x' works,
you could then edit the config file and comment out the EnableXForwarding
(or smth like that) line.

If you do need to tunnel X packets through ssh when running X, you'll need
to debug this further.  The message I mentioned might be of help then.

Initializing and cygwin.bat

[CBFalconer]

As a new user I wanted to customize cygwin.bat to my system, which
uses 4dos as the shell and only maintains command.com as an
antique.  W98 BTW.

I found that various commands wouldn't work!  The reason was that
command.com was being called in the .pif file.  I simply changed
the .pif to specify "%comspec%" in place of
"c:\windows\command.com".

Is there any reason setup shouldn't do this in the initial
creation?  Since the .pif files are of some peculiar structure I
had to use explorer and the fursluginner mouse to make this
change.

aclocal wrapper fails because -x check fails (something to do with ntsec ?)

[amores perros]

Report of additional test:

I logged in as Administrator, and still have the same problem
 aclocal: Can't open aclocal: No such file or directory

$whoami
Administrator

$grep Administrator /etc/passwd
Administrators:*:544:544:...
Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:...

$ls -l /usr/autotools/devel/bin/
lwrxwrxwrx 1 Administ None ... aclocal -> aclocal-1.6
-rwx-- 1 Administ None ... aclocal-1.6


I'm a bit surprised by this, but then again, I don't
know why I was able to execute this file as my non-Administrator
user either.

And again, I can execute it directly, eg,
$/usr/autotool/devel/bin/aclocal

so I assume this is the -x check in the /usr/bin/aclocal wrapper
failing.


Cordially,

Perry

(PS: Apparently a fix for the "gcc not executable" problem is
to run, eg, mkpasswd -du myusername, which adds an entry to
/etc/passwd for the username specified; in case anyone hits this
searching for that answer.)

Doug,

If you read all the relevant messages, you'll see that your /etc/passwd is
probably not up to date.  Try re-generating it with 'mkpasswd >
/etc/passwd' (having made a backup first, of course, and with all the
appropriate flags for a domain user).

There are some problems with the 'tty' setting (I, in particular, don't
use it), but if it works for you, all the better.

Re: Cygwin Here power toy

But I get to see two bash processes with different PID's in the
Taskmanager.  However, 'ps -e' shows only one...


perhaps it's some kind of "forked"

but you should test this:

open two win32-consoles
my first console looks like this:
C:\>mkdir t
C:\>cygwin\bin\bash --login -c "cd /cygdrive/c/t; exec bash"
Sven@ERNI /cygdrive/c/t
$ cd /
Sven@ERNI /
$

my second lokks like this:
C:\>rmdir t

this will fail! because the directory "t" is "in use", what means, that 
the first bash-process (which is covered by the "exec bash" uses c:\t as 
it's working dir.

Jay,

I assume you want X forwarding when you're running X.  If not, just
turning it off might do the trick.

Does OpenSSH work if you don't run X but set DISPLAY in your system
control panel?
Does OpenSSH have a -v flag or a verbose option?  If so, it might help.
If not, does cygwin's 'ssh -X' work (with and without DISPLAY set)?
If you can reproduce the problem with cygwin's ssh, use the -v option for
some additional debug info.

The following might also be an instructive read:

Re: Openssh client under X

[Jacob A]

Thanx for the input!

I believe "ssh -x" is the default behaviour, but even when I say -x I get
the same symptoms.

What really confuses me is that it all works like a charm if I run:

$ ssh 

...without starting X. (i.e click on the "cygwin icon"
(C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat) -- and start an interactive shell (bash) in the
cygwin environment.

But, if I start X, (which I do with 'startx') -- and then open up an xterm
and fire away the same command ($ ssh ), I get connected but
thrown out right away. I mean, I'm running the same binary -- what could
be different? This leads me to believe that the problem could NOT be on
the server side, it must be my cygwin that does _something_ differently
when I run the Xserver.

Does this work for you? Can you use ssh to login to a remote host from an
xterm running in cygwin/XFree

Again - I am not primarly interested in "tunneling X" -- I know how that
works -- the problem is connecting with ssh at all.

Any more thoughts?

(again, I'm not subscribing to the list... please email me).

Where to send corrections for user's manual ?

[amores perros]

I made a list of some (trivial) fixes to the file
   http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html
but I'm not sure to whom to send them (I tried following
the up link to the top, but I'm not spotting a link for
where to send corrections).

If anyone would like them, I'd be happy to send them
somewhere ?

Cordially,

Perry

(Whereas on an XP box, my build fails because the
aclocal wrapper fails, I find now on a 2000 box
my build fails because of the gcc executable not being
executable problem, so I'm trying to find what the
answer for that is. If anyone who has found it feels
kind, perhaps you might email me a link to the answer.)

RE: Openssh client under X

[Gen Zhang]

Try 'ssh -X'. With all capitalisations.

Hope that helps.

Subject: Re: Openssh client under X

Thanx for the input!

I believe "ssh -x" is the default behaviour, but even when I say -x I
get
the same symptoms.

What really confuses me is that it all works like a charm if I run:

$ ssh 

...without starting X. (i.e click on the "cygwin icon"
(C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat) -- and start an interactive shell (bash) in the
cygwin environment.

But, if I start X, (which I do with 'startx') -- and then open up an
xterm
and fire away the same command ($ ssh ), I get connected but
thrown out right away. I mean, I'm running the same binary -- what could
be different? This leads me to believe that the problem could NOT be on
the server side, it must be my cygwin that does _something_ differently
when I run the Xserver.

Does this work for you? Can you use ssh to login to a remote host from
an
xterm running in cygwin/XFree

Again - I am not primarly interested in "tunneling X" -- I know how that
works -- the problem is connecting with ssh at all.

Any more thoughts?

RE: Openssh client under X

[Gareth Pearce]

from the ssh manpage:



-X  Enables X11 forwarding.  This can also be specified on a per-host
	basis in a configuration file.



"Enables X11 forwarding". This is NOT what I want to do. I simply want to
get a login session on the remote machine.

This problem is really getting to me now...

I'm really curious to hear if anyone else on the list has got this
working?

please throw me an email if you do. thanks.

/jay.



heres a few suggestions -
try unsetting DISPLAY first
try setting TERM to cygwin
try x fowarding and see if it works (despite the fact its not what you want)
modify the login scripts of the remove server so they dont do things 
dependent on either a) DISPLAY or b) TERM

because if it works from cygwin bash - and not from an xterm in xwin - the 
two differences which spring to mind are the fact you have your display 
variable set - and the term variable will be xterm instead of cygwin.

I think the first is more likely

RE: Openssh client under X

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Jay,

I use ssh with X forwarding every day.  I also use it without X forwarding
when my DISPLAY is not set, and it works fine.  Here's what you should
try:

>From a bash prompt in an xterm,
$ unset DISPLAY
$ ssh -v -x @
(notice the lowercase 'x').

If this doesn't work, please report the results to the list.  If this does
work, you have ssh X forwarding enabled in one of the ssh config files --
consult the manpage to find out where to look and disable it.

Re: Where to send corrections for user's manual ?

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Perry,

Run 'cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/cygwin login', type the
password ("anoncvs"), then 'cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/cygwin
checkout webpages'.  This will give you the current set of cygwin webpages
(including the one you want to fix).  Make all the changes you want, then
make a patch using 'cvs -q diff -up', and send it to this list.  Don't
forget the ChangeLog entry (see http://cygwin.com/contrib.html for
details), and thanks for contributing.

Re: Openssh client under X

[Jacob A]

ok.

maybe my last post was somewhat unclear.

What I want is to be able to run is:

$ ssh user@host

...from an xterm window under cygwin/XFree86. Whenever I try that, it
connects, and then disconnects right after I get connected. If I run ssh
from cygwin without running X, it works like a charm. Correct me if I am
wrong, but the DISPLAY variable should have nothing to do with this.
All I want is to login on the other machine.

ssh -v -v -v tells me "channel 0 is dead" _after_ I type in the password.
My .profile runs on the remote machine, and then I get disconnected. Very
frustrating.

Why does it work if I dont run X?

I would like to test connecting to an ssh server with ssh -D. But I can't
where I am running this.

Noone else has come across this problem?

uh, again - I am not a subscriber to the list, so please mail me if you
think you know whats going on here.

'unset noglob' fixed the problem.

Re: drive letter translation under cygwin

[Christopher Faylor]

Please check out the project web page for links to available information
and ports:  http://cygwin.com/ .

If you don't see what you need there, then the cygwin mailing list is
the best place to make observations or get questions answered.
Information on the mailing list is available at the project web page.

For your convenience, I've reset the Reply-To: address to point to the
cygwin mailing list.  I've also Cc'ed this reply there.

This is the URL for the web pages.

The documentation is part of the cygwin repository.  The "Source in CVS"
link at http://cygwin.com/ has the link to tips for retriving the cygwin
cvs repository.  It's in the winsup/doc directory.

Ugh, I confused User Guide and User Manual...  That's 2 mixups in as many
