The reason for needing to run within Cygwin is because we have a complex shell script that sets the user environment to run the application. OK, if that is the only reason for using cygwin, I can recommend another way to run a complex shell script in windows. There is a native windows port of the bash shell in http://win-bash.sourceforge.net/ If you need more unix command line utilities, look in https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/ HTH, Wilfried -- Wilfried Hennings -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
