Dmitry, I'm trying to help you, but you seem insistent on just declaring Cygwin buggy. It is not and it is possible for you to resolve the problem. I gave you all the information you need to do so. One last time, I'll answer your points... At 11:46 2002-02-10, you wrote: >Randall R Schulz <[

Dmitry, Apart from the fact that this question involves Windows native path name syntax (which, by the way, works equally well with forward slashes), this is not Cygwin-specific. There are two levels or rounds of interpretation of your command string. The first is applied by the shell that in
