Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Note-from-DJ: This may be spam I'm trying to understand, clarify, and document a problem I have encountered with the latest version of cygwin and it would be of great help if someone would confirm or deny something about cygwin for me. It's my understanding from all I've read that cygwin is designed to run under a number of shells including, specifically, bash and Dos/Win98(command.com--I'm running Win98), albeit with slightly different behavior. In other words, can I expect cygwin to function Unixishly in a cygwin window and Dosishly in a Dos/Win98 window? I have searched the faqs, user documents, etc. and can find nothing that claims otherwise. Thanks, Lowell Anderson <comic relief> I've been programming for over 35 years so I hope this doesn't get me removed from the list or preclude me from getting an answer. </comic relief> -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
