I've look in the FAQ and a brief tour in the mailing lists. Its probably
there but needs to be "in my face" a bit more ;-).
Andyway - If I run a "certain" program from cmd.exe it works fine. If I run
it from sh it barfs.
The program is MSVC link.
>From CMD.EXE it prompts for files etc. as follows (ignore the fatal error -
thats just me hitting return)

Subject: Re: B19; supporting a DOS-path such as C:\a\b\c;C:\d\e\f;D:\g\h
Hi Christopher,
Are you saying that if I mount c:\cygnus\b19\H-i386-cygwin32\etc to
/etc and I use the Win32 native vim to edit /etc/termcap that vim
should see c:\cygnus\b19\H-i386-cygwin32\etc\termcap?
If the answer is yes, was this a change made in b19? I know that it
didn't work for b18.
Thanks,
Earnie.
