Actually, emacs groks POSIX paths. The Cygwin emacs that I launch from the cmd line and the nt-emacs that I launch from the desktop use the same .emacs. The former works, the latter doesn't. > >Situation Two: I unzip an internal build of Java > that > >a separate group provides me.

For the production (InstallShield installed) java %getfacl `which java`: # file: /cygdrive/c/WINNT/system32/java # owner: Administrators # group: SYSTEM user::rwx group::r-x group:Users:r-x group:Power Users:rwx mask:rwx other:r-x For the internal (unzipped) java %getfacl `which java`: # file: /usr/local/java/bin/java # owner: Administrators # group: SYSTEM user::rwx group::r-x mask:rwx other:r-x Is there away to add ACLs for those additional groups from zsh or bash? > > >I'm completely out of ideas any help/suggestions > would > >be greatly appreciated at this point. > > > >...
