Well, you will have to do the following: (1) Prepare a batch file, let's say go-bash.bat with the following contents: set PATH=c:\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32\bin;%PATH% set HOME=c:\myfiles bash Of course you will modify the paths according to your situation. (2) In your 'home' directory as given by the %HOME% variable you will need the following files: ..bashrc will be sourced at the start of non-login shells ..bash_profile will be sourced at login ..bash_logout will be sourced at logout Be careful as the .bash* files need to be Unix-type ASCII files, not Dos-type. (3) For more info see the file c:\cygnus\man\man1\bash.1 I hope this helps. Horia Pop ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Horia F.
