Subject: Cygwin 1.0: Error when launching MSDOS bat file from bash on Wind

Hi,

I recently received a machine with Windows 2000 installed on. I installed my copy of the Cygwin CD 1.0 I purchased but I run into the following problem: I can not run an MSDOS bat file from bash when a relative path is specified.

Examples:

> cd /
> mkdir -p test1/test2
> cat > test1/test2/run.bat
REM start of MSDOS test
PAUSE
REM end of  MSDOS test
^C
> 
> cat test1/test2/run.bat
'test2' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
> cd test1
> test2/run.bat
> 
> cd test2
> ./run.bat
'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.



> #However when I specify a complete path it works:
> /test1/test2/run.bat

C:\test1\test2>REM start of MSDOS test

C:\test1\test2>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .

C:\test1\test2>REM end of  MSDOS test


Any idea of the problem. The same problem appears also with beta 20.1. Do you know if this would have been fixed in 20.2?

Thanks for your help,

Guillaume.
