The only thing is we do accept windows pathing in the form of C:/SOME/DIR but not C:\SOME\DIR. The only thing I know that is currently changed is bash to add a -W option to pwd. That should be carried forward to /bin/pwd but that currently isn't the case. All of the path handling magic happens in msys-1.0.dll. The other thing that happens are chosen sane defaults for the options provided by CYGWIN so that users reporting errors wouldn't have the chance to screw with a known set of configuration and the CYGWIN variable is thus ignored. And all file handles are set to _O_BINARY without the ability to change it; I don't know if that matters for the current version of Cygwin but mentioning it just in case. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd
