So i went into cygutils-1.4.2/src/readshortcut/readshortcut.c and discovered that, if the last argument of GetPath() is set to `SLGP_RAWPATH' (this is ok), the value of SLGP_RAWPATH is obtained from `#include ' (this is still ok), but it is redefined later with `#define SLGP_RAWPATH 0' (this is *not* ok, it should be 4). It seems that the intentions of the original writer were to print the raw path, but someone later changed that to be consistent with SHORTCUT.EXE (or due to some other reason). Please modify readshortcut.exe in order to be able to really print the raw path (e.g. with an extra option). Thanks in advance. Regards.
