/tmp/anything is a POSIX path. Only Cygwin apps can understand these kind of paths, because they are a fiction invented by Cygwin. You have to give OO a win32 path, because it's a native Windows application, just like any other non-Cygwin program. See man cygpath, e.g. swriter "$(cygpath -w /tmp/ME3268/WSPC.doc)". The quotes are essential if the path expands to something containing a space. Having OO in the PATH is unnecessary as well, you can just refer to it by its fully qualified name, e.g. /path/to/swriter "$(cygpath -w /foo/bar/whatever)" Brian -- 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/
