Or, alternatively, as a quick-hack fix: How about introducing an environment variable that means "don't have cygwin glob", and modify the above code as follows: > >> /* Expand *.c, etc. */ > >> if (! u->self->cygwin_parent_p && !getenv("CYGWIN_DONT_GLOB")) > >> globify (&argc, &argv); Then I could just set CYGWIN_DONT_GLOB in my .zshrc and then `find', etc would behave the same as under bash. --- John - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
