I think you're both missing one crucial point: it is possible that cygwin is installed and Emacs doesn't know of this and has no way to know (because /usr/bin aka c:\cygwin\bin isn't in Emacs's path). Of course, any future implementation could condition itself to support cygwin paths iff cygwin's mount is accessible via (getenv "PATH"). > Stefan > -- Cheers ~vijay Gnus should be more complicated.
