It behaves the same as you describe above (yields nothing) here with cygwin 2.6.0-1 and bash 4.3.46-7 on windows 7/32. But it works as expected (yields omega) if you run tcsh instead of bash from the cmd.exe window dos prompt... or even if you run tcsh from within the bash. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
