Subject: faq: why doesn't tilde expansion work in shell scripts in cygwin?
Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2002 16:01:36 -0700

In all my shell scripts, I'm having to replace ~ with $HOME to
get them to work under Cygwin.  Seems a bit odd.  Am I doing
something wrong?  This is with a fairly fresh installation
of Cygwin on Win2K.
Thanks,
Dan
