Hello All!
I am having some problems with bash 1.14.7 (196) for Win.(Win95 4.00.950 B)
when I try to use pipes, I get error message:

bash$ ls|less #or anything to the right of the bar
bash$ pipe error: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

less is in my $PATH.
when I boot up in the dos mode with shell=c:\bin\bash.exe
in the config.sys, all works fine. Output of 'set' is below.
Have any idea why?
Please answer by mail, if you can, I get news through
mail gateway, and it's a bit complicated to trace messages.
Sorry, if it's a FAQ.
