RE: cygpath returns garbage if DOS/win2k input environment variable is too long?

Hi Randall, Completely incorrect. I use cygpath to convert CLASSPATHs all the time and it works just fine. Syntactically, they're just like PATH (on either side of the Unix / Windows divide) and cygpath doesn't care what they're used for, only what lexical / syntactic structure they
