No. This is a scripting problem I had on MsWindows Me, and I don't remember any similar issue on Windows NT -- more tests should be done to be sure. The problem comes from pathnames having spaces. If we want to run: appl "c:/Program Files/foo.txt" ~/bar.txt The parameters should be requoted before (/while ?) running xargs. I haven't spent enough time to find to something that works. -- Luc Hermitte -- 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/
