Re: Minor diff: /bin/ksh.exe


I believe this is a non-problem. The cause: human error. Doing a
cd /c/Doc*/pa*/App* is not the same as
cd /c/Doc*/Pa*/App*
Wildcard lookups are always case sensitive. I must not have been consistant when switching between Windows.

Just want to point out a slightly difference in behavior of ksh
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
between Cygwin 1.5 & 1.7 First, the above is a older version of pdksh
that I had to tweek the cygwin sources a l-o-n-g time ago. Under 1.5,
the following does work properly:
$ cd /c/Doc*/Paul/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/

LERN2SHELL. Try "echo /c/Doc*/Paul/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/" to see if
you've actually got a real path there, or no matching path, or several matching
paths. Try stripping components off one by one and seeing which one you made a
mistake in. The multiple expansions work just fine for me:


$ PS1="$ " pdksh
$ cd /cygdrive/c/Doc*/Adm*/App*/Moz*/Fire*/Pro*/*default/
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Application
Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/bfwp4loc.default
$

Also, LERN2BUGREPORT. You told us all about how you feel, but completely
omitted the crucial detail of WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS when you try it. Error
message? No error message? Boxing glove on a spring comes out of your computer
and punches you in the nose?


    cheers,
