Subject: B20: cygwin.bat: too many parameters

Hi,

I'm running ver B20_2 on Windows 98.  I had a problem getting cygwin.bat to
run.  It reported the message "Too many parameters" and the resulting path
was not properly set.  The posting:

http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/1998-11/msg00144.html

dealt with the question.  The problem is that my path _prior to invoking
cygwin.bat_ contained a space.  I implemented the following change to
cygwin.bat

Change:

SET PATH=c:\bin;c:\usr\local\bin;%PATH%

to:

SET PATH=c:\bin;c:\usr\local\bin;"%PATH%"

Note the double quotes.

I don't know enough to say whether this is generally acceptable, but here it
all is for what it's worth.
