That's a bad thing to do! Now you have deviated and have a unique version of this script. It will not work 6 months down the road when the script is updated on the Unix/Linux side and you have to again port it. Instead carefully test to make sure you're in Cygwin and when in Cygwin use cygpath appropriately. Then "contribute" the code back from whence it came so you have a hope that the next version will at least have your portability changes if not the modifier will simply follow suit and take into account Cygwin users as you've shown can be done. -- Andrew DeFaria As the shopper placed her groceries on the checkout stand, the bagger asked her paper or plastic?
