If that doesn't make sense to you, think of the reverse. How would you run a batch script without cmd.exe? FWIW, if your script only uses shell built-ins, then you only need to install bash and cygwin packages. While I don't recommend this configuration, it should do what you want if your script conforms to the limitations I just mentioned. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
