Hello,

Is there a cmd.exe clone for Windows which supports UNC paths? Can
that be shipped with Cygwin?

Thanks,
Martin

No, and this is because cmd.exe already supports UNC paths. I have been
using UNC paths in cmd.exe for many years.

It might help to describe your problem rather than a proposed solution.

You cannot cd to an UNC path.

You can in bash. And then run
cmd /C …whatever…

…given sufficient system configuration
