Cygwin doesn't take the path C:/my/directory. it requires to install lots of
stuff.
what I want is to be able to run grep abc */* from ms-dos shell.
grep.exe or ls.exe etc from mingw and djgpp (though it is not very stable for
the binary from mingw if running from msdos shell.) It is nice to know that it
works for those binaries without cygwin.

so you think grep.exe from mingw used msvrt-library to compile?
Kees, Thanks for your help
