As a new user I wanted to customize cygwin.bat to my system, which
uses 4dos as the shell and only maintains command.com as an
antique. W98 BTW.
I found that various commands wouldn't work! The reason was that
command.com was being called in the .pif file. I simply changed
the .pif to specify "%comspec%" in place of
"c:\windows\command.com".
Is there any reason setup shouldn't do this in the initial
creation? Since the .pif files are of some peculiar structure I
had to use explorer and the fursluginner mouse to make this
change.
