Several years ago I was provided with info on how to get command expansion
to work inside for loops. I run under Zsh. It was done for the install that
I have under XP. I've since installed cygwin under Win7-64 and want to get
the expansion working again, but do not remember what was done to get
Zsh 5.3 under Win7-64
I'm trying to do the following:
mv TSMUXER/*.ac3 TSMUXER/txmuxer.ac3
The problem is the the * is not being expanded. I have no idea why not.
Any tips will be appreciated.

Sorry, 64
I've installed the latest (as of this writing) Cygwin base and a few other
packages.
I have a startup batch file on my XP box that I copied over to the new Win7
box (modifying the HOME variable to match the new box).
I also copied over the home directory from the XP box, so that I can get the

I've been using cygwin on XP (SP2 and then SP3), both 32 bit and 64 bit,
for ages now. I actually tried upgrading once, but had to go back to what I
am currently running because cron was broken. It refused to start, no matter
what. After returning to the previous install, it started right up.

Long standing programs like cron just install and run. Using cygwin 1.5,
it does. Using 1.7, it does not. I have no idea what was done to 1.7 to cause
cron to not work, no matter what the Hell I try to do.

not provide a new one, not even a cygwin.bat.sample (which would have been
