This will pop up a bash shell with all special environment variables set up for you. If you are running Windows 95 and are faced with the error message "Out of environment space", you need to increase the amount of environment space in your config.sys and try again. Adding the line `shell=C:\command.com /e:4096 /p' should do the trick if `C:' is your system drive letter." ;-) hope this helps, Siegfried - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
