Any >help greatly appreciated. mkdir takes two arguments on UNIX. That's how it works. I'm not sure what is happening in joe but, usually, something like a mkdir() function is only compiled in when there is no corresponding function in the C library, although, I don't know how there could possibly be a workaround for a missing mkdir. You need to examine the source more thoroughly and figure out what is going on. This would be a problem on nearly any UNIX system that it was compiled on, too. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
