Dave, While I have submitted a couple patches to cygpath, a lot of people have put work into it and I certainly can't take credit for the whole thing!

I don't use Java with cygwin, so maybe someone else on the list will have some ideas for this issue. > It would be cool if cygpath had an option to resolve any symlinks and > shortcuts in the path. Yes, it would. Patches thankfully accepted. :) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
