RE: File path expansion problem (DLL version 1.5.3-1 and earlier)


Hi Martin,

well, this is normal. myeditor knows nothing about posix paths,
since it is no Cygwin application. For non-Cygwin apps you have
to convert the path yourself:

myeditor "`cygpath -w /etc/services`"

and you should take care in case of a non-Cygwin editor, that it
can handle unix text file format!

Regards,
Jörg
