Subject: Which command to bump when M$ is non-posixish
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 1999 16:25:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <29829.921371160.0@NO-ID-FOUND.mhonarc.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: < 003301be6daf$950045c0$41cd78cf@hunda >(Ssiddiqi@InspirePharm.Com)

There are a few places where X.exe exists both as a WinDos builtin and a
standard GNU command installed with Cygwin.

Now, one of the commands can be renamed (or deleted ;-) or the path can be
set to choose one over the other (most of the time, for the Dos prompt).

My requirement is that a WinDos machine with Cygwin installed function
first as a Windos platform PC then as a DOS machine and lastly as a Posix
machine.  (When I feel the need for speed or whatever, I reboot to Linux...)

Therefore I leave cygwin at the end and move the parts I need to
non-blocked names.

Does anybody think that Cygwin should install itself at the front of the
Path environment variable?
