Hello,

  I've been wondering for a long time whether someone had written a program 
for cygwin to do what NeXT's open(1) program does.  At least in the current 
incarnation, under OSX, open resolves file-type associations at the command 
line and opens a file.

  Do any list readers know of any perl programs, or scripts which perform 
this functionality under cygwin?  I haven't spent much time programming 
under windows, but it doesn't seem that difficult to read the registry file, 
build a hash, etc.  I always sort of figured someone else had already done 
it but didn't know who or where.


ciao and thanks,
  Qiezi
