Give an example. dash supports DOS paths the same as bash.

Sorry for the slow reply on this one as I had just given up and gone from sh to bash. Here's a reproducible case (starting with bash as the initial shell). $ cygcheck -c cygwin dash bash Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status bash 3.2.49-23 OK cygwin 1.7.1-1 OK dash 0.5.5.1-2 OK $ echo $CYGWIN nodosfilewarning $ bash $ cd c:/ $ pwd /c $ export FOO=c:/windows $ cd $FOO $ pwd /c/windows $ cd c:/ $ pwd /c $ dash $ export FOO=c:/windows $ cd $FOO cd: 2: can't cd to c:/windows $ exit We rely on being able to perform "cd $FOO" where FOO is a DOS file path and this used to work in the old ash.
