Also it ran when the f= ile was on the C: drive but not other positions. As mentioned earlier I pas= ted the foreign accent into emacs and pasted back into the filename and it = worked, so obviously some conversion of the character took place.=20 When I viewed the file in cygwin the =E2=80=93 was shown as =E2=80=93??. What is strange is that it worked on my c: drive and not my f: drive. I ret= urned it to my c: drive to test if it had undergone a conversion but it sti= ll worked on the c: drive. I have changed all files with accents, as I do n= ot generally use them. I can get back to working again. thanks for your help.
