How does one expose the >cygwin command line interfact in the Win2K environment? Maybe I should >start with cygwin.bat? Cygwin uses the path just like any windows program. Set the path under Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables->System Variables to include c:\cygwin\bin (or whereever you have cygwin installed). Then you'll be able to run cygwin programs without starting cygwin.bat. cygwin.bat is just a convenience to give you a bash shell. You don't have to use it. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
