I tried what you describe using NT 4, SP 3, and I got the same output for the command line as for the script file. My setup differs from yours, however, in that I am using cygwin32 b19 (not 19.1) with the cygwinb19.dll from Sergey Okhapkin's coolview (perhaps not the latest version; I downloaded it on April 10). I have read numerous recommendations on this list for installing coolview over b19{,.1}, so give it a try: http://www.lexa.ru/sos --John > ---------- > From: Matthew Donadio[SMTP:m.p.donadio@ieee.org] > Sent: Friday, May 01, 1998 5:58 AM > To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com > Subject: Backticking in Shell Scripts > > I just installed cygwin32 19.1, but am having a strange problem.
