As one who asks rhetorical questions myself, the point doesn't seem to have hit a lot of people does it? It isn't so much the work-with-windoze aspect as much as "why do you need a command line thing when you have a gui?" You really should just have a one-link answer that explains that. If you shutdown cygwin, that would make my comments here look stupid where I mention cygwin, and I know you guys don't want that, LOL, http://blog.ostp.gov/2009/12/21/policy-forum-on-public-access-to-federally-funded-research-features-and-technology/comment-page-1/#comment-10873 > Sorry, I just couldn't resist. ;-) So you've wanted to shut the project down alll along? Are you a mole from a large commercial competitor? Will you be throwing out any computer hardware? And I need the source to cygpath since I can't find it on debian yet and I'm moving all my scripts over. -- 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
