Well just to show that this discussion isn't completely one sided :-) I'd have to say that I'm quite in favour of case-insensitive file name completion. Having moved to NT quite a while ago, I've got used to the case-ignorance of the file system and as I use the cygwin tools to enhance NT rather than simply mimic UNIX I have absolutely no problem if there are features here that are only really going to be of interest under NT. Perhaps this behaviour could be dependant upon the value of a shell variable or setting? Guy -- Guy Gascoigne - Piggford (ggp@informix.com) Software Engineer, Informix Software, Inc.
