Hi,

v2$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 PC213736 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-31 09:58 i686 Cygwin

aka

Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3

though SSH at least :

v2$ regtool get /machine/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session\ 
Manager/Environment/PATH
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\orawin\BIN;C:\Program 
Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel;"C:\Program 
Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\7.00\Accessories\";C:\Program 
Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;D:\sfu\Perl\bin\;D:\sfu\common\;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program 
Files\Samsung\Samsung PC Studio 3\

gives :

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/orawin/BIN:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/ATI Technologies/ATI Control Panel:"C:/Program 
Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/7.00/Accessories/":/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/QuickTime/QTSystem/:/cygdrive/d/sfu/Perl/bin/:/cygdrive/d/sfu/common/:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/Samsung/Samsung PC Studio 3/:/bin

note the unconverted path between double-quotes :

"C:/Program Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/7.00/Accessories/"

also, how about to get rid of final slashes (.../ => ...) ?

this appear to work well under Windows Vista (i.e. : /cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/7.00/Accessories)

Regards,

Cyrille Lefevre
