Hi everyone,
Pardon my ignorance on this, but I have searched the mailing list archives on this (as well as read the user guide to look for guidance) but this problem doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere.
I have been using tcsh and cygwin for a long time now (since the b19 days) and have pretty much gotten used to navigating the directories on my hard drive using the non-posix style paths (i.e. cd d:/some_dir). Over the past several months I have been living with the following behavior but I've reached a point where I either track this sucker down, or change my way of working:
While in tcsh, with the noglob variable set
/> set noglob
/> cd d:/work/advcode
/d:/work/advcode/> pwd
/cygdrive/d/work/advcode
/d:/work/advcode/> cd ..
/d:/work/> pwd
/cygdrive/d/work/advcode
But when I navigate to each individual subdirectory separately, everything is fine, ala
/> set noglob
/> cd d:/
/d:/>cd work
/d:/work>cd advcode
/d:/work/advcode/> pwd
/cygdrive/d/work/advcode
/d:/work/advcode/> cd ..
/d:/work/> pwd
/cygdrive/d/work
Furthermore, if I unset the noglob variable, then I get this (
/> unset noglob
/> cd d:/work/advcode
/d:/work/advcode/> cd ..
/d:/work: No such file or directory
When I use posix style paths, all is fine. What's more, I can do the above in bash and all is OK.
Is the above behavior expected or is this indicative of a problem with tcsh?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
