Are you Win NT or Win 95/98? If you are on NT do not include Cygwin to PATH. Best start Cygwin by Cygnus.bat and do not add WinNT or Windows to PATH in Cygnus.bat. -- -----Original Message----- From: David's Lightspeed Email To: cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com Date: Saturday, March 13, 1999 7:36 PM Subject: find, ksh, and job control > > March 13th, 1999 > >All right, thanks everyone for the feedback.
