I'm having a problem with a script. It's a big script, and I know it should work OK (dangerous comment to make). The first line of the script is #!/bin/ksh /bin/ksh is a copy of the bash.exe in the b18 release directory (it is the latest from Sergey). When I delete the #!/bin/ksh line, the script works fine (my SHELL env variable is also /bin/ksh). The script problem is weird to say the least. It says there are syntax errors on lines with no syntax errors, and if you do a slight change to the script the errors move to a completely different place. The script in question is quite a large one, and unsurprisingly I can't reproduce it on a small script. I have CYGWIN_TTY set to 1. The filesystem is not mounted as binary (that makes it even worse). It is mounted as, e: / native no-mixed,text!=binary I am running on NT4 SP3. (OK, the obvious solution is to just take the #!/bin/ksh from the script, but the script works on 6 other Unix machines, and I hate changing things just for one machine. Especially when hundreds of scripts are involved). Ian Collins.
