If you say so. I've heard there are various LISP scripts for non-Cygwin built emacsen to get them to parse the Cygwin mount table so that they can handle the POSIX paths but I don't use emacs so I don't know how they work and, of course, I couldn't assume that you were using them. Either way, if it's not a Cygwin program, it's not going to understand the POSIX paths natively so problems you have are really somewhat off-topic for this list. > >> >Situation Two: I unzip an internal build of Java >> that >> >a separate group provides me.
