"The cygpath program is a utility that converts Windows native filenames to Cygwin POSIX-style pathnames and vice versa." There is no mention of "cygpath converts the paths automatically".

The easiest way to solve your problem is to do what the message says, in the order of (Cygwin's) preference: 1. Use POSIX path syntax. 2. Set your CYGWIN environment variable to nodosfilewarning. A third alternative, very close to the second, is to ignore the warning. As long as it works for you, alternatives 2 and 3 are basically equivalent functionally. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
