I don't see much there which talks about the fact that not every program will understand Windows paths correctly. I think I have to write up a Cygwin philosophy page, too at some point (with Corinna's input, of course), which tries to make clear that modifying linux programs to work better with Windowisms is not a primary goal of Cygwin. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
