Hmmm... you're right. Thanks. I was hoping the mention of /bin/sh was more figurative - ie, just _a_ command interpreter. Guess not, eh? So, what would be the right way to call an external program from a Cygwin program without installing Cygwin, if not system()? I also find it somewhat puzzling that it works on my development machines even though /bin/sh isn't anywhere along in the path of the Windows command shell. -- Archie -- Archie Warnock Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- A/WWW Enterprises http://www.awcubed.com -- As a matter of fact, I _do_ speak for my employer. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
