is a good hint. Focus on the fact that network shares (or drives) in the path are an issue, not necessarily the recent change that makes the now obsolete //X drive syntax equivalent to a network path. While this may be your problem, references to network directories in your path is a timeless issue that can account for the behavior you describe. There are multiple posts about this in the mail archives, although they are likely to be buried fairly far back in the archives and may be difficult to unearth if you don't happen to hit a keyword used in those messages. ;-) Larry Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] RFK Partners, Inc. http://www.rfk.com 118 Washington Street (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office Holliston, MA 01746 (508) 893-9889 - FAX At 07:15 PM 10/25/2001, Scott Atwood wrote: >I am running Cygwin 1.3.3 on Windows 2000 Server, and I have noticed a >strange problem.
