For example: if I link a RCS dir to another place, 'ls', 'cd' and 'cp' work fine, but 'vim' doesn't (it says I'm editing a new file if I try to edit a file which _is_ in the RCS dir). RCS tools (ci, rlog, rcsdiff) don't work either, as you can see by the output reproduced below: [ /cade/Weather\ Channel/src ] ls -l RCS lrw-r--r-- 1 544 everyone 43 Nov 9 18:03 RCS -> u://cade/Weather Channel/src/RCS/ [ /cade/Weather\ Channel/src ] ls -lL RCS total 4 -r--r--r-- 1 1296 everyone 7462 Nov 8 20:23 genhtml.c,v [ /cade/Weather\ Channel/src ] rcsdiff genhtml.c rcsdiff: RCS/genhtml.c,v: No such file or directory [ /cade/Weather\ Channel/src ] rlog !$ rlog genhtml.c rlog: RCS/genhtml.c,v: No such file or directory I went through the FAQ at CYGWIN website, but couldn't find an answer. I really hope this is due to something I overlooked, because this is the only flaw I noticed on the behavior of CYGWIN tools (and I need these tools very bad, because they help keeping my sanity after being forced to switch from UNIX to NT =T ) Any help would be much appreciated. Please reply to mail email address also, because I don't check this list often. TIA, Costa -- André Oliveira da Costa (costa AT cade DOT com DOT br) -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
