There was a change in the behavior of pathnames beginning with the Apr-13 snapshot. Now, it seems that anything with a backslash in it is considered a Win32 path: $ cygpath -w '/cygdrive/c\cygnus' \cygdrive\c\cygnus $ cygpath -w '/cygdrive/c/cygnus' c:\cygnus Before Apr-13 these produced the same results. I had been assuming that slash and backslash were interchangeable in Cygwin. Is this an intentional/desirable change? Thanks, Eric Fifer
