I wanted to wait until the end of September to post this thank-you due to the numerous posts that had nothing to due with the original question. Thank-you to the few of you who actually answered my question. As for those of you who just couldn't stand to let the post from xxx go unanswered as I had planned to do, it would help if you would not post your responses to gnu-win32. Although some of what was said was informative it had nothing to do with gnu-win32, porting of tools and scripts, etc. which is the intent that the kind people at CYGNUS SOLUTIONS have provided. Rather it became a flame and name bashing contest which wasn't necessary or appreciated. - \\||// ---o0O0--Earnie--0O0o---- -earnie_boyd AT hotmail DOT com- ------ooo0O--O0ooo------- >Date: Tue, 23 Sep 1997 1:07 +0100 (BST) >From: pete AT horus DOT cix DOT co DOT uk (Pete Jordan) >Subject: Re: pathname conversion >To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com >Reply-To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com > >earnie_boyd AT hotmail DOT com (Earnie Boyd) wrote: > >> Does anyone know of a command/function which will give the translation >> of the cygnus path name and vice versa? >> >> I'm using vim and it would be nice to have the translated full path to >> Win32 when trying to edit with vim the file that is in a cygwin.dll >> translated path. > >Have a look at the code in my debash utility >(http://www.horus.cix.co.uk/download/debash-1.0.tar.gz) as this does >essentially what you're asking for to allow GNU-Win32 paths to be passed >to ordinary Windows applications. > >Pete Jordan ~ Horus Communications ~ http://www.horus.cix.co.uk/ > >"Pass me another elf, sergeant, this one's split" >- >For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to >"gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help". > ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
