I'm _always_ interested in killing a bug ;-) - LANG is not set in Windows (checked by "set" and "echo %LANG%" in command prompt) - if I set Standards and formats : back to Slovenian, I still have LANG=C.UTF-8 !!! I will try if there is a difference if I log off and back on, or reboot - I don't see SFU in "Add or Remove programs", neither is there a C:\SFU folder - I have gvim 7.2, and as mentioned, an older version of cygwin (1.5.25), it has no LANG variable defined when started (Cygwin Bash Shell) Regards, David -- 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
