Yes I did. If I type a command like 'ls /home', it displays the directory
contents.

OK, this is what I was looking for. To add the conversions is not such a big
deal.

We are porting the discrete-event simulator omnet++ from linux. It's a
mixture of c++ and tcl,
so hopefully I can do the conversions from posix to win in c++ using the
cygwin api.

Pity about find. The omnet++ install script uses find to locate various
system components.

Thanks for the response.
