Hi,

I'd like to know if anyone knows if it is possible to start the msys
environment from a cygwin shell? I'm ssh'ing into a windows machine,
which gives me a cygwin shell. I've tried a lot of things, and can't get
an msys environment.

Even if I remove every environment variable except for PS1, and then run
'cmd' and then cd to C:\msys\1.0 and the run .\msys.bat, I end up back
in cygwin somehow.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bob Rossi
