Oh, I didn't realize that. There is one thing that doesn't work,
which is probably what gave me the impression it was broken -- Windows
paths with wildcards don't work. Like "grep c:\Windows\*.txt". But
you're right that it does seem to work for both windows paths, and
local wildcards, just not Windows paths with wildcards.
But that's great. Thanks for the info. Actually I used to put
cygwin\bin on my path years ago, but stopped doing it at some point
and switched to gnuwin32. I was under the impression that it worked
better then, but actually I've had some trouble with gnuwin32
recently.
Glad I could be of service!
