B20 was the unbelievable, awesome and complete Cygwin release, that could have anwered 
any questions, including the question for 42. But they nuked it just before it was 
ready to give *that* answer ...

[Joerg was of course joking...]

B20 is a *very* old version of Cygwin, which is completely
unsupported.  If you are using setup.exe to install, you will
not have B20.  I've no idea why Bobby M brought the subject up.

Returning to your original problem, it sounds as though you
have a broken installation.  make, configure et al should
run 'out of the box', and you should not need to rebuild
make.  If you do wish to rebuild make, you should use
the Cygwin version of the source tarball (which you can
get using setup.exe) as there are in all likelihood
Cygwin-specific patches which are not present in the
mainline GNU sources.

So, take a look at http://cygwin.com/problems.html
and send in the required details so we can help track
down your problem.

I have a mirror where also Davids binaries are asvailable, though it is
realy outdated, I even couldn't use it to bootstrap a newer gcc on top
of Cygwin 1.5.5.  I'm just about finishing a GCC release for Cygwin
including GNAT.

Do you have a reasonable amount of time and Ada code to test run the Ada
compiler?

Yes, read the shell man pages to learn how file completion works.
What you want is a job for `find | xargs grep'.
 

Thanks for the xargs tip Corinna - thats a new one on me.

an alternative (talking to original poster here) is:

grep FLD_DCT_STRING `find . -name '*.h??'`

Or you can search *directories* recursively with grep, but this doesn't 
allow you to filter the file type. e.g.:

grep -r FLD_DCT_STRING .

where '.' is the current directory - this will search all files in 
subdirectories too. See 'info grep'.

Now the following text isn't meant to be rude or some such, so please don't
take offence. This is just yet another of those itchy little points of
mine...


$ man waitpid
No manual entry for waitpid
$ man msleep
No manual entry for msleep

Hmm? Is waitpid() a blocking call or not? WRT "WNOHANG" it looks like an
unblocking one...

 Thus I'm assuming it doesn't block and that msleep() is something internal
to rsync, using usleep() or some such.
 If msleep() does more than so, I would guess the problem to be inside
msleep().

 A general comment: Given what I've written above the result of the patch is
called "busy waiting" and is a *hard* blow against all other software that
is running at the same time.
 If the loop exit condition appears "late" the machine running the above
code will experience jerkyness and other ill effects - at the extreme but
still likely level there might even be disturbances of *vital* system
functions (e.g. related to time critical tasks).

The bottom point: *don't do that* ;-)
 i.e. leave the msleep() call there. This is a simple - yet effective - way
to avoid ill effects of a tight loop.

Example:
 I have a cheap SCSI-interface in my PC, this is connected to my scanner;
now can you guess what happens when I start scanning?
 Not very hard, ehh? Yes indeed, the entire computer stops, waiting for SCSI
I/O; i.e. 10-20 seconds for a preview, 30-60 seconds for scanning the bus at
boot time, anything from a minute and up for scanning an image.
 Guess what? I *do* disable this piece of hardware when I'm not going to use
it explicitly. (Monetary reasons leaves me in this situation) :-7

 I'd say; play with temporary files.

e.g:
$ echo >/tmp/tmp_$$ "command arg1 \"arg2.1 arg2.2\" arg.3"
$ cmd /c $(cygpath -WA /tmp/tmp_$$)
$ rm /tmp/tmp_$$

1.5.1: can't open files beginning with "..."

[Chris Moore]

I have a file on my PC called "...foo.txt".

cygwin has a problem with this file:

  $ ls -a
  .  ..  ...foo.txt  cygcheck.out
  $ ls -al > /dev/null
  ls: ...foo.txt: No such file or directory
  $ 

cygwin also has a problem making similarly named files:

  $ touch ...foo2.txt
  touch: creating `...foo2.txt': No such file or directory

Windows Explorer also doesn't like to make files whose names begin
with 3 dots, but Windows itself is fine with them.  The following
Perl one-liner makes the file if you run it in the (native Windows)
ActiveState Perl:

  open(FP, ">...foo3.txt") or die "$!";

But the cygwin perl complains:

  "No such file or directory at 3dots.pl line 1.".

I can also create these '3 dot' files in a native Win32 Emacs, but
not in the cygwin Emacs.  Even a Windows 'DOS prompt' (cmd.exe) is
able to make it:

  C:\>echo foo > ...foo3.txt
  C:\>

I'm not sure how to tell you what version of cygwin this is, but the
'DLL version' is 1.5.5 if that's what you need to know.

I've attached the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r".

Chris.

After having no luck with my local machine having XP and some patches 
installed locally I switched to our VmWare server and grabbed a copy of the 
pure XP master without any patches. Then I installed current CygWin from 
scratch and what a wonder - it works now.

So now I am not sure whether my CygWin setup is broken (less probabilistic) or 
whether my Win XP setup is broken (more probabilistic).

Re: Compiling errors with '-mno-cygin' option on Cygwin

Hello everyone,

Is there any way I can call an application(a C application using embedded
Perl) created on Cygwin from Windows(C++, APIs) environment?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thank you.

It is a good news that you are working on patch to fix it. 
It is very easy to test it.
I try to connect 2 PC thru serial line and run on first PC program that permanently 
send data thru 
serial line to second PC.. When I try to call function tcflush at Windows98 on second 
PC program hangs.

I think that this random hangs problem is closely connected to problem above (with 
full serial buffer).

 Hmmm... I think I read something about a similiar thing, having the word

 For the time beeing, yes it might be preferable - but not as a long time
solution. And one has to be aware of the possible ill effects.

It uses select(). When I used strace on a non-modified version of rsync
to watch where it hung, here's the last bit of output I saw:

It never got past cygwin_select().

But, it's OK for me because a) It fixes the problem b) It doesn't wait
long at all c) It doesn't appear to tie up resources.

Nope, I haven't seen any of this. It could happen, I'm sure.

If I leave msleep there, it hangs every time. So I'm taking it out. Now,
this fixes one hang at one time, but not others. For instance, if there
is nothing to do since the sources and targets are in sync, it'll hang.
If the source dir doesn't exist, it still hangs. I'm now going to see if
I can isolate the heart of the problem with a simple program that forks
and sleeps in the same fashion as with rsync.

Re: DDD under cygwin

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Jozef,

Please don't send personal e-mail with Cygwin questions unless
specifically requested.  All Cygwin-related discussion should take place
on one of the Cygwin mailing lists (see ).
This will give your question access to a much wider area of expertise than
any one person can provide.

Also, do you Google?

Want to test it for me?

Do you know how to compile and test the cygwin1.dll if I send you the
patch, or would you prefer a binary?

Can you test it on multiple OSes?

Sure.  I understand the problem.  It just takes a good deal of effort to
get a setup like this if you don't already have one.

I haven't seen anything like this myself, but the devices I talk to don't

Re: Strange Cygwin issue

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Dylan,

If you followed that thread to the end, it was suggested that the program
itself was buggy and treated the "-" as a parameter separator, IIRC.

As for your case, that's the expected behavior.  Windows programs get the
quotes surrounding quoted arguments -- try it from cmd.exe with this
simple program:

#include 

#ifdef WIN
#include 
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE inst, HINSTANCE pinst, LPSTR cmdline, int show) {
  printf ("%s\n", cmdline);
}
#else
int main(int ac, char *av[]) {
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i < ac; i++)
printf ("%s|", av[i]);
  printf ("\n");
  return 0;
}
#endif

At a guess, the only way you can get around it is by writing your own
command line parsing routines...  Sorry.
Igor

I went back to review this thread, but I am unsure exactly what fix you
actually used.  It would help greatly to see your exact compile line, and
to know what headers/libs you are, or think you are, using.  Did you move
/usr/include/GL/[gl.h glu.h] out of the way like I suggested?

BTW,

Plain old PATH is sort of the equivalent here to find DLLs.

I short, yes.  But I really need to know what headers/libs you are using

You mean defining GL_VERSION_1_2?  So, you are using the headers from the
opengl package in /usr/include/GL.  That is ok as long as you don't want
1.3 functionality.  Otherwise, I suggest following my "move out of the
way" suggestion.

That is because Microsoft only supplies 1.1 functionality.  If you want
greater, you must load those functions as extensions.

You do.  Most nvidia drivers are 1.3 or 1.4.  You don't need to convert
them, they are linkable as is via the normal described methods.

I think I can probably be of great help to you here, but you need to
describe you problems/goals in much greater detail.  I promise to try my
best to help if you do.

starting emacs in X-window mode without a console

[Rob S.i.k.l.o.s.]

Hello,

I've searched the archives a bit, but can't find anything recent and/or
pertinent (although I'm sure this has been answered before).

I want to know if there is a way to start an emacs X-window without an
accompanying cygwin console.

I tried using nohup, but that didn't seem to make any difference - the
console won't exit until all background processes have finished.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob.

Strange characters

[Marcus Vinicius Ferreira]

Hello,


I was studying man pages more deeply in Cygwin and I can not solve a problem
involving strange (format ?) characters. As an example, here is a part of "man
zip".

__

   zipnote [â^'hwL] [â^'b path] zipfile
   zipsplit [â^'hiLpst] [â^'n size] [â^'b path] zipfile

DESCRIPTION
   zip  is  a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, MSDOS,
   OS/2, Windows NT, Minix, Atari and Macintosh, Amiga and Acorn RISC  OS.

   It  is  analogous to a combination of the UNIX commands tar(1) and
comâ??
   press(1) and is compatible with PKZIP (Phil Katzâ?Ts ZIP for  MSDOS 
sysâ??   tems).

__


Although some colors appear in the text description (white, grey and navy
blue), a set of "â", "^", "'" makes impossible to understand some parts.

I tried to change enviroment variables such as $LANG, $TERM, $CYGWIN with no
results. I made a fresh new installation and the problem re-appears.

What's wrong?


My cygwin dll is 1.5.5, Windows XP Pro, bash 2.05b.



Marcus

RE: Cannot Start Cron

[Harig, Mark]

1. From your cygcheck.txt:

>  Warning: C:\WINNT40\grep.exe hides d:\cygwin\bin\grep.exe

Please check your C:\WINNT40 for other utilities,
such as 'cron.exe'.  Consider deleting these 
programs, or moving them to another directory
in your PATH.

3. Please examine your /var/log/cron.log to see
if it provides any useful messages.

4. Please provide a copy of your crontab:

$ crontab -l > crontab.txt

5. Run the following command to check your
   cygwin packages:

$ cygcheck -c | fgrep Incomplete

   If any packages are listed, then consider
   running 'setup.exe' and selecting the
   'Reinstall' option.

Also, at some point, consider the possibility of
converting your C drive's file system from FAT
to NTFS, if doing that conversion won't cause
other problems.  Windows provides the 'convert'
command for this purpose.

GNUPLOT compilation limitation (?) : howto enable x11 terminal support when compiling gnuplot for CYGWIN

[Emmanuel Favre-Nicolin]

Hi,

I'm willing to use x11 terminal of gnuplot in a cygwin environment.

So, I tryed to compile gnuplot (3.7.3) and it worked well.

The only problem is that with this version, I don't have any x11 
terminal so that gnuplot is not easy to use!

I haerd that I had to build it setuid in order to get the x11 driver.
I don't know how it is done?
(Rem : with cygwin, I don't have the user root)
(cygwin is version 1.5.5, I think)

No dups on cron.  I do have it as an NT startup service, and I get an error
upon booting saying that it couldn't be started.  I wonder if that means
something.  Maybe it is being started as the wrong user?

Nothing return for the Incomplete stuff.

My cron is very simple, so here is the text, rather than an attachment.

Thanks again for looking.

I just do (i) start XWin -multiwindow [if OS is 98 -- omit "start" if OS is
XP]; then (ii) run rxvt -display localhost:0.0 -e bash; and then (iii) I
find that I can use gnuplot (3.7.3, like you) with no difficulty at all.
Without XWin, I wouldn't expect it to work. (I am not clear from what you

The -c option means compile just a .o file.  Libraries are only used
during the final link.  Remove the -c, and you'll probably want a -o to
specify the output file name.

Your include path looks weird.  Two versions of ruby?

Again, there is *no* Java Development Kit under Cygwin.  The Sun and IBM
JDKs are Windows applications, completely independent of Cygwin.  Unless
you're by some chance calling the gcj version of Java (which is
unsupported in any case), you're not likely to get any support from the
Cygwin community.  You may want to try invoking your scripts via the
cmd.exe shell, to determine whether your problem is related to Cygwin at
all.

Check which java is called by the rmiregistry script.  Then try your luck
with some Java forum.

Using alias to less did not work.

I can see the difference what you suggested using color ls:

$ /bin/ls -l --color | /bin/less -r

compared to

$ /bin/ls -l --color | /bin/less


Defining $PAGER to less aliased or explicitly to "/bin/less -r" does not
resolve either. I still can see the funny sequence of "â^'" in each man page.

Re: 1.5.1: can't open files beginning with "..."

[Rolf Campbell]

To make things even more interesting, it thinks that anything starting 
with '...' is a character device?

  ls: ...foo.txt: No such file or directory

cygwin also has a problem making similarly named files:

  $ touch ...foo2.txt
  touch: creating `...foo2.txt': No such file or directory
Windows Explorer also doesn't like to make files whose names begin
with 3 dots, but Windows itself is fine with them.  The following
Perl one-liner makes the file if you run it in the (native Windows)
ActiveState Perl:
  open(FP, ">...foo3.txt") or die "$!";

But the cygwin perl complains:

  "No such file or directory at 3dots.pl line 1.".

I can also create these '3 dot' files in a native Win32 Emacs, but
not in the cygwin Emacs.  Even a Windows 'DOS prompt' (cmd.exe) is
able to make it:
  C:\>echo foo > ...foo3.txt
  C:\>
I'm not sure how to tell you what version of cygwin this is, but the
'DLL version' is 1.5.5 if that's what you need to know.
I've attached the output of "cygcheck -s -v -r".

ssh-host-config: "mkpasswd -l -u sshd"; should it be "-d" on domain controller?

[Tom Rodman]

consider:

  bash-2.05b$ uname -r; grep mkpasswd /bin/ssh-host-config
  1.5.5(0.94/3/2)
mkpasswd -l -u sshd | sed -e 's/bash$/false/' >> ${SYSCONFDIR}/passwd

Does "mkpasswd -l" make any sense on a domain controller?

On an NT domain controller I tested 

  mkpasswd -d -u sshd | sed -e 's/bash$/false/' >> /etc/passwd

and "ssh localhost" worked fine after stopping and starting sshd.  The '-d"
option creates a user entry that apparently has the same SID, but
different uid offset.

Using only the "-d" switch on a domain controller would simplify
the cron script I use to automatically rebuild /etc/passwd.

Weird Naim.exe network usage?

[darkacorn]

I hope this is the right mailing list to address this issue in. 

I recently installed cygwin on my window xp home edition computer. I started naim. I 
then proceeded to enter my username, and password. It logged into TOC just fine, and I 
was typing away with friends. I noticed that for some reason naim.exe was listening on 
tcp sockets, and not only that but it changes quite frequently while naim.exe is 
running. So let me just state this again, it is listening on TCP sockets. They are 
also real because I have confirmed by telneting to them. Nothing is printed or 
anything, it just sits there. Has anyone experienced naim.exe listening on TCP 
sockets? I have no modules loaded I confirmed with /modlist.

Key-based authentication fails when keys are in Samba directory

[Hugh Brown]

I have Cygwin and OpenSSH set up on a number of Win2K machines.
Home directories for users are mounted via a FreeBSD-based Samba
server named Whistler.  SSH to the Win2K machines works without any
problems *except* for key-based authentication where the
~/.ssh/authorized_keys file is in a Samba-mounted home directory.

I found email from Brian Hayward
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-10/msg00479.html) from a
couple of weeks ago, which seems pretty similar.  However, when I
try the solution (running "setfacl -m u:system:r-- ~ ~/.ssh
~/.ssh/authorized_keys", where ~ is a Samba-mounted home directory),
I get an error message that says "Function not implemented."  I
don't get this error message when I try it on a local home directoy,
like /home/administrator.  (I've also tried appending keys in
authorized_keys2 to authorized_keys, without any more success.)

I *have* been able to get key-based authentication to work if I set
up a home directory for the user on the Win2K machine.  In other
words, I change the home directory listed in /etc/passwd from
"//sambaserver/username" to "/home/username", create the directory,
and copy over the user's .ssh directory.  However, at this point
they no longer have access to their home directory, so it's less
than ideal.  And for the record, password-based authentication works
without any problem at all.

On the Samba server, some home directories are mounted via NFS from
other FreeBSD machines via amd, and some are on the machine itself;
this doesn't seem to make any difference -- key-based authentication
keeps failing.  

I thought it might be a problem with symlinks
(http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC69).  To test, I tried
setting my home directory in Cygwin's /etc/passwd to a temporary
directory on Whistler (one that was not mounted via AMD, and had
no symbolic links at all) and copying the
.ssh directory in there; it still didn't work.

Here's the debug log from the ssh daemon when I try to log in:

And the options in sshd_config that are not commented out:

Finally, I've attached the output of cygcheck -s -v -r.  

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, and please let me
know if I've left anything out.

I'm not an ssh expert, but how do you expect this to work, at least if the
Samba mount requires authentication?  Seems like a "chicken and the egg"
problem to me.

Re: Key-based authentication fails when keys are in Samba directory

[Larry Hall]

Can an unauthenticated user access //sambaserver/username via Windows?
If not, that's the real problem.  You'll have to use password authentication
unless you change the access.  I'd be surprised if your problem is driven by
directory/file permission issues anyway, since you have StrictModes turned 
off.  Fiddling with permissions when they aren't being checked isn't going
to do much AFAICS.

RE: Limit to length of command line arguments? (was Cygwin/bash: need environment variables >32K)

[Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID)]

There are no unusual file names.  Everything starts with a consonant.

As an example, in bash

$ echo N* | wc
  13332   73218
$ ls N* | wc
bash: /bin/ls.exe: Invalid argument
  0   0   0
$ echo i* | wc
  1   4  41
$ ls i* | wc
  4   4  45

sh behaves the same except for the error message

$ ls N* | wc
ls: error 22
  0   0   0

If I give ls an argument that is 32730 characters long, I get the following:

$ ls `gawk 'BEGIN {for (N = 1; N < 32730; N++) {printf "X"}; print
"";exit}'`
bash: /bin/ls.exe: Invalid argument

While if I give it an argument 32729 characters long

$ ls `gawk 'BEGIN {for (N = 1; N < 32729; N++) {printf "X"}; print
"";exit}'`
[snip]: File or path name too long

So something changes when the command line arguments get too long.

You might have an unusual filename (e.g. starting with a dash) that is
interpreted as argument. Try

$ ls -- *

This tells ls to interpret anything after the double dash as file argument
and not as possible option!

Jörg

There is no B20!  I have eliminated all copies of it.  You *must* use
1.5.5!  There will be no discussion on this.  It is all off-topic.

In fact, I think I don't like the name "Igor", so that is off-topic,
too.  You are no longer allowed to use your name in this mailing list.

Shush!  Aht!  No.  Sssh!

Don't make me make the term "Please do not send private email" off-topic,
too.  I will if you keep provoking me!

Down with the tyranny of CGF!  For those interested, I have stashed my
own, super-private copy of B20 at the address below.  Please keep this
information in strict confidence -- I shudder to think what would happen
should CGF find out.  You can download B20 at

Both of these fine gentlemen had it right:  I had completely missed
the Samba authentication problem.  I was able to use public-key
authentication by mounting my home directory with the public key
via "net use" (and supplying a password), prior to logging in via SSH.

Thanks very much to both of your for your swift (and patient) responses!

I think the people I work with would think of me as a "nice guy". I hope
this comment doesn't get me blocked from the cygwin list ;-) Normally I
ignore such things, but I felt compelled because I have seen many other
messages with the following content...

"PLEASE include the generated files 'cygcheck.txt' *as an attachment*,
and NOT in the body of the mail message."

If you don't believe me visit http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/ and type "as an
attachment" in the search box. I got 2862 hits.

This makes me believe you've been subscribed to the mailing list for quite
some time, but may not have actually read many messages. I can understand
this. It's an active list. So I thought I would help by pointing this out.

On the other hand, now I understand the WJM philosophy, because in this case
it worked...

> I now know the right way.

You may ask yourself why I bothered replying to this post. We'll you made
another minor mistake by adding my address to email distribution list. I
obviously read the mailing list and this simply resulted in me getting two
copies of the same messages. I hope pointing this out doesn't seem too mean.
Imagine if you would have done this to cfg!

I hope you helped someone too. I'm sure you did. Just ignore the mean people
on the list, but use their advice to avoid further meanness.

This does not work on Windows. Basically paths in windows
cannot end in row of dots. The dots are silently ignored.

> Chris Moore wrote:

This does work, but Cygwin's path handling code understands
only ".." and "." . If it get three dots in a raw and they
appear before the last '/' char, Cygwin returns ENOENT.

I looked in the code 2 months ago so I may miss some of
the details - please, correct me if I am wrong.

I found this in august and changed the code (normalize_posix_path)
to allow path components starting with multiple dots but I havent
sent the pathc since i had some doubts on how to implement
this properly for UNC paths - the path handling code is
the same. If someone is interested to look at it and discuss
I will be happy to send it.

Problem with a Cygwin App - Broken on a pristine system until I install Cygwin, cygwin1.dll doesn't seem to be enough

[Benjamin Cutler]

I have a program that I originally wrote on Linux, and compiled with cygwin
to make a Windows binary. The problem is that the Windows binary won't work
properly on a system that doesn't have cygwin installed on it. It seems to
not be using fread and fwrite correctly, or it's having some weird problem
with pointers that I can't figure out. The problem is that as SOON as I
install Cygwin onto a system, the executable works perfectly, even though I
don't change anything directly related to the program itself.

The program is using SDL, if that makes any difference, and cygwin1.dll is
the latest version in all my test cases. So far on every machine I've tried
it on this has been the case, where it won't work properly until I've
installed cygwin. What might cygwin be installing that suddenly lets the
program work right that I need to be distributing with my program besides cygwin1.dll?

1.3.22: gdbm-1.8.3 build error

[Doru Carastan]

Hello,

I have tried to rebuild gdbm-1.8.3 and got a make install error. 
Makefile installs some files with explicit ownership. Unfortunately the 
group and owner variables are not double quoted and the commands fail if 
the variables contain spaces.

gdbm-1.8.3/Makefile:138

install: libgdbm.la gdbm.h gdbm.info
   $(srcdir)/mkinstalldirs $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(libdir) \

   $(INSTALL_ROOT)$(infodir)/gdbm.info
And my group file has group names with spaces. I have recently used 
'mkgroup -dl > /etc/group' to re-create my /etc/group files and got the 
following:

I got around by removing the spaces present in the group names, but I 
would like to ask (Corinna?) what is the right way to fix this problem:

a. Sanitize /etc/groups by removing any spaces present in the group names.
b. Modify the Makefile and add the necessary double quoting.
Is there a special reason why mkgroup doesn't remove the spaces present 
in the Windows group names or substitute them let's say with _'s?

Thank you,

"cygcheck yourprogram.exe" should tell you all the DLLs that your program
directly or indirectly depends on.

If you are distributing cygwin outside your organization, the other
thing you need to include is the source code for your application and
for the Cygwin DLL, as per the GPL.

Assuming that you know this, you are right in assuming that just
copying the cygwin DLL should be enough.  You could try just
copying the 'strace' program to the system in question and running
the program with that to see if you can gather a clue into what
is going on.

Otherwise the tried and true printf debugging technique is probably
your best bet.

Aye, it's a GPLed app. I didn't want to provide a URL to the app's page
unless asked, but if you want I certainly can, if it helps narrow the problem
down.

Hrm, next time I get a chance to sit down in the CS lab and hammer away at it
for a while (I currently only have a Linux box available to me without making
a trip across campus) I'll try strace. As the previous poster suggested, I
had already tried cygcheck, and all it spat back at me was SDL.dll,
cygwin1.dll, and a bunch of standard Windows DLLs. Perhaps there's a compiler
switch that I missed?

Aye, I've already considered this, I just ran out of time to work on it today...

I have a mirror where also Davids binaries are asvailable, though it is
realy outdated, I even couldn't use it to bootstrap a newer gcc on top
of Cygwin 1.5.5.  I'm just about finishing a GCC release for Cygwin
including GNAT.
Do you have a reasonable amount of time and Ada code to test run the Ada
compiler?

I have an /unreasonable/ amount of time.  Ada code - I can write it, I 
can also go download the conformance tests (I think).

Yes, read the shell man pages to learn how file completion works.
What you want is a job for `find | xargs grep'.

Thanks for the xargs tip Corinna - thats a new one on me.

an alternative (talking to original poster here) is:

grep FLD_DCT_STRING `find . -name '*.h??'` -- 1

Or you can search *directories* recursively with grep, but this doesn't
allow you to filter the file type. e.g.:

grep -r FLD_DCT_STRING .   --- 2

where '.' is the current directory - this will search all files in
subdirectories too. See 'info grep'.

The command 2 works fine. However 1 fails revereting to my original problem.
If I execute the find command alone I get

D:\views\aj_pvt\Tally63>find . -name '*.h??'
File not found - '*.h??'

or

D:\views\aj_pvt\Tally63>find . -name *.h??
File not found - *.h??

I did n't reply my previous cygwin installation. As u see I  use the Win2k
cmd prompt
