From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Rick Rankin To: Cygwin Subject: Re: No such file or directory Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2000 20:13:00 -0000 Message-id: <20000326041308.26509.qmail@web805.mail.yahoo.com> X-SW-Source: 2000-03/msg00610.html I don't know. I think you'd want to consider it very carefully. I'd be pretty annoyed if I typed 'cat foo', thinking foo contained a few lines of text, and cat instead opened foo.exe because I was in the wrong directory or something like that. It seems like most of the problems you refered to are related to make and/or install. Wouldn't it be better to "fix" these programs than to build something like this into the core?
