However, the cygwin.bat file isn't really intended to be the way you "run cygwin" from everywhere. If you want to run bash then run c:\cygwin\bin\bash. Add c:\cygwin\bin to your PATH and you won't even have to type the path. Just type "bash". 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/
