Hi Igor,

  About the first, it does'nt seem to work (from the batch 
file), w/o quotes. 
   Ran the command from bash, but looks like I need
to set PATH again.. Like change /c/WINDOWS to //c/WINDOWS 
etc..
  Thought if I fix it in cygwin.bat (put the mount there), 
then I don't have to
worry about fixing PATH again etc..??

Thanx,
Deepa
