Yes, Max is right. I hadn't thought about the difference between a "native win32" environment vs. "from a DOS prompt on a system that has Cygwin in its path" (I rarely, if ever, run in a "native win32" environment...) I don't understand why we don't just get MSFT to ship cygwin1.dll... :-) One last point: not all flavours of Windows that are targetted for SWISH-E support the "/" vs. "\" (e.g. Win95/98). At least, I don't think they support it...but again, its been a long while since I've sat in front of such a box.
