Hi!
OS: Win95
HOME is set to c:\Morten
Performing ls ~
gives
c:Morten
Also running the make utility produces same errors with pathnames to
executables...the slashes are taken away...
Does there exist any variable which can be set ???
Regards,
Morten

slashes are escaped out, either use forward slashes or two back slashes.

I've found ~ is set to the value of HOME prior to any path translation
during the bash startup. Therefore, the backslash disappears because it
is an escape character in *NIX. The only solution I've come up with is
to set HOME to a *NIX style name (/Morten in your case) in Windows. This
will set ~ to /Morten and work as expected. The downside is that HOME is
not in a suitable format for Windows. This is acceptable to me as there
are other variables I can use if I need something similar for Windows
(actually I haven't found such a need yet though.) The one disclaimer
I'll make is that I am working on NT 4.0 + SP3. I don't know if this
would all live another life in 95....

Use forward slashes instead of backslashes.
