Or rather, you can, but it does not work :) Don't exactly know what your talking about, Richard. What do you mean by "it does not work"? I have partial drives mounted all over the place and have never had a problem that I can relate to mounts. I too have noticed that patch (2.1) does not create output files for me. (This is with WinNT 3.51, cygwin32 b17.0.) I normally have c:/ mounted as / and d:/tmp mounted as /tmp. I tried unmounting d:/tmp and creating a c:/tmp, but the results were the same (no output). -- James Dumser 972-462-5335 dumser AT ti DOT com - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
