On the positive side it should be an easy change to the source. It already recognizes .exe and .com (remember those?) So, I would think there is a list somewhere of files that can be executed. ________________________________ Glen Coakley, Sr. Software Engineer MQSoftware Inc., (763) 543-4845 Have you ever wonder what happens when you run "rm -rf / " but been afraid to try it? > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) [mailto:lhall@rfk.com] > Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 11:36 AM > To: Matt Minnis; cygwin@cygwin.com > Subject: Re: Batch files > > > Not without a source change AFAIK. > > Larry > > > At 12:20 PM 3/30/2001, Matt Minnis wrote: > >Yes, fred.bat or foo.bat do work now, but so should foo and fred. > > > >Is there a way to enable this behavior? > > > >Thanks, > > > >Matt > > > >At 11:14 AM 3/30/2001, Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) wrote: > >>At 11:17 AM 3/30/2001, Matt Minnis wrote: > >> > >> > >> >Is there a way to get Cygwin to recognize that *.bat > files are executeable as: > >> >fred.bat & fred (without the .bat)? > >> > >> > >>Anything's possible. foo.bat works for me though. > >> > >> > >> > >>Larry Hall lhall@rfk.com > >>RFK Partners, Inc. http://www.rfk.com > >>118 Washington Street (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office > >>Holliston, MA 01746 (508) 893-9889 - FAX > > > > > >The generation of random numbers is too important to be left > to chance. > >========================================================= > >Preferred Resources (314) 567-7600 phone > >701 Emerson rd.
