>HI!
>    I am a new entrant into the user group of gnu-win32 apps..So,pls 
bear
>with my very basic quaestions & do answer them..
>
>Q1: I have bash running in NT machine.How do I create a /etc/passwd &
>/etc/group files.I already have some users on the machine.Can I keep 
the
>same userids, or I need to create new ones??
>
>Q2: Once the users are created, what will be the login procedure ?I 
dont see
>any login.exe .
>
>Q3: I guess I can set the environment variables using the control panel 
"
>system" for each of the users once I am able to get /etc/passwd in 
place.
>Am i right?
>
>Q4: I have the basic setup running , without ofcourse a .batchrc file..
>      Now, I am trying to compile & execute a simple code using file
>operations, but I get some un-comprehendable run-time errors.Following 
is
>the listing of my code:
>=====================================
>#include<stdio.h>
>void main()
>{
>  FILE *fptr=NULL;
>        printf("Hi World! - This is Adarsh\n");
>  system("date");
>  fopen("Adarsh","w");
>  fprintf(fptr,"HI THERE!!");
>  fflush(fptr);
>  fclose(fptr);
>}
>=====================================
>I have noticed that it does create a zero byte file in the name of 
"Adarsh"
>, but gives an exception after that I guess.Also the same piece of code
>gives a warning, as if I am trying to declare the function "system()" 
inside
>the function "main()".Why does this happen.Is there a header file to be
>included?
>    Also is there a header file to be included for the file 
operations??Are
>all file operations supported.Where can I find help on that??
>
>That's all for the moment.
>Hope u will help me out.
