If "ab.exe" is in "C:/Program Files/Flow" then the POSIX path for that is "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Flow/ab.exe". So when you were told "No such file or directory", that was the truth. > "chmod a+x /cygdrive/c/Program/flow" > "./ab.exe" or "./ab" > > nothing happen. > > when i say "nothing" is "the program doesn't run (i think because i don't see > anything)" First, I have no idea what "ab.exe" is so I can't know whether it should or shouldn't do anything visible when you invoke it. Perhaps you should try it from a DOS prompt first to see if it does anything there. It's also not clear what directory you are in when you try to run "ab.exe". You say it's in one directory, try to "chmod" it in another, and then try to run it from what could very well be a third. If you aren't familiar with Unix/Linux environments and the tools, you might consider consulting some resources to teach you about some of the basics before proceeding. It could save you allot of time. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
