No, this isn't the same thing at all. It is perfectly understandable why you'd need to type 'mode.com'. The only reason why you'd need to add .exe to gcc is if you either have a gcc without an extension somewhere or you aren't using a cygwin program to start gcc. cgf -- 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
