Actually I did not try this yet. I'll do so tomorrow, as I don't have any windoze stuff at home (fortunately). My gut feeling says it is going to work. > How did you make it on Windows?

However, if you closely inspect os.c, you'll notice that the platform-specific code bypasses most of the functionality that Cygwin offers. All file accesses use native Windows calls, and I believe this is why paths with a leading slash fail. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de
