make links to them in a directory.  I'm doing this to keep my bash PATH 
var. small while enabling me to call most of my programs from the shell.  
Anyways, I'm running into problems when the filename include a path with 
a space in it, such as "Program Files".  I tried putting quotes around 
the path but the script still screws up the statement.  One way around 
this is to use the 8 character length names.  Is there a way to force 
find and ls to output the small filenames? Or is there another way to 
get the script working?

change to:
/Program\ Files/cygnus/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/as.exe
