If you are using normal 'gcc' (without the -mno-cygwin option) to build your program, you can't reliably check the environment via any method to determine if you are "running under cygwin" or not. If you are using a -mno-cygwin compiled program then you should never see colons in the path. You can't reliably use the PATH environment variable to determine anything about how a program was started. >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >-- You know, I didn't set a Reply-To so that when you did a Reply-All >I would get the mail personally so that I could just reply to the mail. >-- If you're going to remove all distribution components when >responding, you might as well make the list forwarder set the Reply-To >to the list, not that I'm in favor of it. -- I would appreciate that >the email distribution remain intact. -- >------------------------------------------------------------------------ The cygwin mailing list policy is that discussion stays on the list. cc's are discouraged. The mailing list software adds a "Mail-Followup-To" field to the header automatically. I've been using the 'list-reply' feature of mutt for many years and adding a Reply-To automatically since that is *my* preference, as well as the preference of many others here. There was no "distribution component" to your email. You are not guaranteed a personal response to a public mailing list message. I've added you to the cc line for this message. I'm not going to be cc'ing everyone who sends email here, however. -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
