Hi,

I simply linked /bin when I set up my Cwgwin32 installation:

    /bin -> /cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin

I was just playing around with Andy Piper's 'check_cygwin_setup.sh"
and I noticed that $PATH is different in interactive Bash w/resp to the
$PATH value in a shell command file.

Bash$ echo $PATH

yields...   "/usr/local/bin:/bin:..."
    ~~~~
#!/bin/bash
#
echo $PATH

yields...  "/usr/local/bin:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin:..."

Why is any processing done on the contents of the PATH variable?

Doug
