>=20

there are different ways.
To avoid confusion I decided to implement in my=20
.bash_profile a different prompt for the two versions
using  "cygpath -w /" , the cygwin root location,
as parameter for the selelction


*************************************
# To differentiate cygwin version on prompt
if [ $(cygpath -w /) =3D "C:\\cygwin2" ] ; then
        PS1=3D'\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n-2 \$ '
fi
*************************************

of course, you should adapt to your specific=20
directory name.
