It would. I have mixed feelings about this, though. On the one hand, calling it "start" may cause problems for people using Win9x/Me, who put ...\cygwin\bin at the front of their path in AUTOEXEC.bat, and try to run "start" from command.com. On the other hand, this is really a Cygwin version of the cmd.exe builtin (or Win9x external command) "start", and it would be really nice if people could just run "start myfile.ext" OOTB. Anyway, I prefer "start", but can live with "cygstart". The "Cygwin community" should decide. (cgf or Corinna, any opinions?) Thanks, - Michael -- I always wondered about the meaning of life. So I looked it up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning of life. It was not what I expected. - Dogbert -- 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/
