I don't see how that can be correct. There seems to be some inexplicable mangling in the above. However, the cygwin.bat file isn't really intended to be the way you "run cygwin" from everywhere. If you want to run bash then run c:\cygwin\bin\bash. Add c:\cygwin\bin to your PATH and you won't even have to type the path. Just type "bash". cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
