THIS is a posix path: /cygdrive/c/jdk1.3.1/bin:/usr/local/bin:...:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/emacs/bin Or, if you have mounted C:\ as /c (like I do on my boxes): /c/jdk1.3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:...:/c/usr/local/emacs/bin See? There are NO ':' characters EXCEPT the path delimiters in a POSIX PATH variable. --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
