-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
I hope this isn't considered too far OT, but perhaps someone will find this useful.
I wrote the attached scripts, which I place in /etc/profile.d/, in order to get quicker access to the original-package and Cygwin-specific documentation. (pkgdoc and cygdoc respectively)
What I wanted to know is:
1) is there a better and/or more precise way of searching for the file? 2) is there a better and/or more precise way of verifying that there's actually such a file to feed to less, instead of calling find twice?
Thanks,
Yaakov -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
