This should expand all the files. Did you try that? It doesn't work for me. For one thing, I see no indication in cygpath's "--help" output that an argument of "-" tells it to read a name or names to convert from standard input. Nor will cygpath process multiple files (on the command line) in a single invocation (as you seem to suggest below). >It would certainly be a good idea to add multiple filename capability to >cygpath.
