I just installed the new distribution and every one (and I mean EVERY GODDAMN ONE) of my scripts that call any of your routines that need to know what a host or a directory are f#$king broke. What in god's name is "/usr/local/bin" on a windows machine? Why don't you UNIX weeneies get a grip. F#$king fix it. It used to be great. Now I can't even change a directory. > I've gone back to your old, unsupported code until we can find the money to equip our team with MKS for $400 a throw. Thanks for making a great product unusable. BTW, did it occur to anyone that the rapid and multiple responses to this email -- which, given its tone and lack of specific content qualifies as a troll by any objective measure -- serve to ENCOURAGE this sort of insistent, badgering, and rude behavior? I mean, geez -- it worked, didn't it? The guy IS getting his answers -- and very rapidly... In behavioral science, we call this "positive reinforcement of aberrent behavior". --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
