You are probably right that I have some problem with my PATH variable.
I set my path variable in my AUTOEXEC.BAT  file using dos-syntax and 
I set the same path in my .bashrc file using bash's syntax. 

I do have "." in my path but this is not working. I have to type 
../program to run it. However
bash finds programs in the other directories of my path!?

I have tried with the first line containing both
#!/bin/sh  and
#!/bin/bash

and my /bin directory contains bash.exe and a copy of bash.exe named sh.exe.

Thanks,

Bjorn
