For one thing, you'd be ruining your 32-bit install and setting yourself up to overwrite the 32-bit versions when the 64-bit ones arrive.

You can call the 32-bit from 64-bit-land (i.e. call a 32-bit "ls.exe" from a 64-bit "bash"). If you want this to happen transparently, I'd recommend putting the 32-bit bin path in your "PATH" environment variable after your 64-bit paths. > 2) I assumed CHERE somehow encodes "where minty and bash are". Yes, it will use the 32-bit versions of these. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
