Hi all,
I like to use Cygwin in a Win2K cmd.exe shell, and I have
C:\cygwin\bin in my PATH. I've noticed, though, that commands that I
use very frequently (mv, cp, rm, unzip) don't handle backslash ('\')
directory strings very well. For example, I tried to unzip foo.zip -d
\, and no files could be created.
I presume this is normal behavior? And the advice is: "Stop
using cmd.exe and use {bash,tcsh}"? Please confirm. Thanks, much!
Jeff
