This sounds it is as expected. You copied only cygwin1.dll so the shell you started had a cygwin1.dll in another directory so that / is mapped to the parent directory containing the cygwin1.dll the shell is using. However, when you use the win32 command shell there is no previous mapping of / to the parent directory containing cygwin1.dll so / is mapped to c:/some/path and the function correctly reports /foo/mypath.exe. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
