7.
Would it be possible to create a short "how-to" for installing the most
recently "known-to-work-with-Windows-7" version of Cygwin (presuming that
old versions remain accessible indefinitely...). Alternately, how one

If you need a boot environment that knows your hardware, try downloading the
backup program Reflect from Macrium - there is a free version.
(I use it for backup/recovery of my Win 10 and Win 7 systems. So far it has
been 100% solid.)
You can then use it to build a boot USB with all your

Thank you in advance for any insights.
BTW - I just re-subscribed to cygwin 4-5 hours ago and have not seen any
mail which seems unusual based on past experience.

Suggestion to Kipton:
od -cx
will show you exactly what is in your script so you can see any spurious
carriage-returns or other special characters.

Based on the emails under this thread and other items I found, it seems that
anomalies
handling program suffixes within CYGWIN are not new. It has been proposed that
the
relevant code be re-thought. I suggest that any rethink consider PATHEXT
support.
It may be of no interest for CYGWIN

Before Bill Gates there was "CP/M" launched by Digital Research - basically a
bunch of nerd-hippies in Seattle. IBM was looking to license it for a low end
machine it was developing (ominous background music appropriate at this point).
Hello cygsimple,
Thanks for the advice regarding line length.
I will try to remember to rein in my margins when emailing to cygwin.
Thanks for your recognition of PATHEXT's potential value;
reassuring to know I am not alone in my delusions.
Regarding providing code, I am somewhat stale
