Hi,
I have used "which" under cygwin and discovered that it does not work correctly (compared to solaris which) when passed an absolute path. For example:
which /usr/bin/ksh
returns "command not found" under cygwin but "/usr/bin/ksh" under solaris. I have created a patch against which 1.6-1 that checks for an absolute path.
Daniel.
