>> D: is not the same as D:/. >> The former is the current default directory on the D: drive. >> The latter is the root directory on the D: drive. Thanks for responding so quickly. It sounds as a though you have a highly developed grip on the semantics here. Are you saying that under the circumstances described the respective output from cygpath -m / (i.e. "c:/Cygwin" no trailing slash in the one case and "d:/" trailing slash in the other) are precisely correct? If so, that's fine, and thank you for thinking about it and letting me know. I'll shut up after hearing what you say. (But it still seems not quite right to me: maybe I'm misunderstanding the question that cygpath actually poses, which is why these different responses to it seem, to me, to be inconsistent. Hence my earlier suggestion that "c:/Cygwin/" and "d:/" would be consistent with one another and seem to me to be responses to the identical class of question. As things stand, it's giving me grief.)
