The code is in setup.exe's codebase and in cygcheck's codebase. I think I tried to write cygcheck's code with this in mind but it's been a while. I didn't try to deal with symlinks or recursive mounts, though. That's tricky. That's why path_conv::check is so large. I have no problem with anyone adapting the code in cygcheck for use in some program, as long as the program is GPLed. cgf
