On NT you can do bash$ cmd /c foo.bat but on 95 you have to use command.com, which is a DOS program, which bash won't handle very well. You could get an "alternative" command processor, such as 4NT, or even a native port of bash, and do: bash$ 4nt /c foo.bat or bash$ native-sh command /c foo.bat Convoluted, but it might just work... YMMV. -- Ed Avis - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
