That just means that you have a Cygwin uname in your path. It doesn't mean you're necessarily running in a Cygwin "environment". I thought the intent was to print c:\foo at the CMD prompt and /cygdrive/c/foo when running under some shell. So, really the best test for that is the SHELL environment variable containing just '/' and no '\' or ':'. The Cygwin DLL doesn't mess with that environment variable. cgf -- 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/
