Dick,
From the look of it, the path "/cygdrive/c/file" seems to be a cgywinThis is correct. However, the program also had a windows "C:" style
path in it, and I believe it makes no sense to use both. If the
Unicon had been successfully compiled under Cygwin, which I have not
attempted in ages, then the /cygdrive/c paths should work, but not
the windows style ones. And vice versa.thingy. I have very little experience with cgywin but I believe unless you
use cgywin toolschains the application wont see /"cygdrive/c", it is an
invalid path from Windows point of view. Unicon is not a cgywin
application so I'm not surprised that this is not working. A quick googling
returned this answer:
cygpath -w: converts to windows path
cygpath -u: converts to unix path
to use the correct path based on the application (cgywin-based or not).
Somebody suggested that you can actually configure cygwin to drop the
cygdrive prefix by editing the /etc/fstab in cygwin. Just add a line that
says
none / cygdrive binary 0 0
This way all of you paths would say something like "/c/file", and would be
consistent whether you are running a cgywin application or not.

P.S. Unicon could be made smart enough to map "/cgydrive/c" to "c:/" but
that means every single path used in Unicon applications has to be checked
first for the string "/cgydrive" and do the mapping. Not sure if that is
the right thing to do, will leave that for the discussion.But then one would would have some kind of obligation to support
paths for MSys, and the other Unix emulation layers. I think it
would be more fruitful to aim for successful builds of Unicon under
the various Unix emulation layers. I may not be seeing the whole
picture, though.

So here's another bug for you. Likely fails on all Windows versions.
