And here another little detail: I installed Babun on the Windows 10 machine.
juergen@saraswati ~ $ value="$( date | cat )"; echo $? $value 0 Tue, Jul 11, 2017 10:24:02 PM juergen@saraswati ~ $ echo $BASH_VERSION 4.3.33(1)-release juergen@saraswati ~ $ It works. The BASH_VERSION on the other Cygwin installation is 4.4.12(3)-release. The command substitution with a pipe doesn't work there.
