RE: cygwin b20 bash path usage?


>>Is this proper behavior in bash? I assumed the directory being worked
in
was searched first then along the PATH directory list.<<

I guess the latter is the native DOS/Windows search strategy. On Unix,
the PWD is not searched unless you include "." into your PATH, and AFAIK
cygwin behaves the same.
