It was designed to run under windows commands with cygwin *not* in mind. I prefer to work in the cygwin command line using rxvt terms. However, when I run this complex chain in cygwin, which does a lot of environment setting and path mods, it does not work (don't see env changes, etc). Is there a way to do this type of thing without having to go through the hundreds of files and make them look more unix/bash like (e.g., get rid of dos "set", change directions of slashes, changed %SYMBOL% to $SYMBOL, etc). -gene -- Lit up like Levy's -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
