Agree!!!
As Corinna said, if you are having this problem, I would rather rename MS
find.exe. Windows NT find.exe is useless anyway.

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?

I have no idea!
I have never gotten any conflicts betweeb the X.exe which have common names
under Windows and Cygwin.
At my end it happens only, if I intentionally include C:\WinNT
in PATH in cygnus.bat or .bashrc.
Of course everyone has his/her own requirements and preferences, therefore
he/she must decide what is best for him/her.

Just noticed this. Have you included *cygwin* to your Windows PATH too. I
have not. I start Cygwin by Cygnus.bat. Could this be a problem for
conflicts?

Yes. I always recommend it. However, you don't have to change the
PATH at the DOS/WIN level. You can `export
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/c/winnt:/c/winnt/system32' for an
example in the .bashrc file.
This way you can have the best of both worlds. cygwin path first when
in cygwin and the dos/win path first when in dos or windows.

I expect you'll find many different answers to this question.
I like it to be a Posix machine when I'm running under cygwin shells
and a Windows machine otherwise.
I just have my cygnus.bat rearrange my path to achieve that effect.
