cygpath Suggestion

2003-11-07 Thread Barry Buchbinder
It might be useful to have a cygpath option that outputs %COMSPEC% and exits directly and without needing to do `cygpath $COMSPEC` (I know -- PTC -- but I'm not a programer.) - Barry Buchbinder __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail
