It will only effect ">" redirection when used directly from the windows command shell, e.g. c:\>ls > foo The reason for this is that when you use "> foo" in bash or ash, cygwin resolves foo to the current directory and can determine if the directory is mounted binmode (-b) or not. When you use redirection outside of the cygwin environment, the only thing that cygwin knows about its standard output is that it is a disk file. It has no idea where the file 'foo' lives. >Where it would work, where it would not work ? Hopefully that explains it. If it doesn't then please send email to the cygwin list, not to me personally. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
