The commentary about the errno values is duplicated. Other than that, it seems clear. I have one question, specifically as it relates to run/run2/cygstart: these apps use CreateProcess. In the documentation, you say: > If you need a valid Win32 CWD only for a child application started > via CreateProcess and friends, you don't have to set your own Win32 > CWD. In that case, just utilize the lpCurrentDirectory parameter. See > the description of the CreateProcess function in the MSDN manual > pages. But earlier in this thread, you suggested that run/run2/cygstart should use the new CW_SYNC_WINENV.
