Solving: Quotes in $PATH not translated properly

Hi, a current problem when invoking cygwin is: if the Windows PATH variable has quoted paths then cygwin won't translate those paths to POSIX properly, so you end up with an incomplete $PATH: T:\bin>echo %PATH% "C:\Program Files\abc";[...] T:\bin>sh $ echo $PATH "C:/Program Files/abc":[...] No

awk CR/LF issue

Hi, I've been complaining about the awk output lately. Today I tested our old awk (3.0.3) which did what I expected, in contrast to the new 3.1.1 awk. So I (finally) searched the archives and found this: "I've updated the version of GNU awk to 3.1.1-3. This version is linked against automode.o.

awk strangely outputs to file

Hi all, my awk (which is actually gawk) shows strange End-Of-Line-behaviour when redirecting the output to a file. Note: I use the old drive prefix "//" because of old scripts; works perfect currently. Example in bash: $ awk '{ print "123\n456" } ' /etc/passwd > "c:/x" (the /etc/passwd is just
