RE: zsh as login shell

["Williams, Gerald S \(Jerry\)" <gsw at agere dot com>]

I started using zsh about 10 months ago myself. Now I can have
my favorite ksh feature (two argument cd) as well as all the
things I like in BASH. But I digress...

I edited my /etc/profile, replacing bash with zsh, though that
of course doesn't help me start ZSH from Windows.

To get that, I copied the Shortcut created by Cygwin (the one
that runs BASH) and changed the Target to:
  C:\cygwin\bin\zsh.exe -l -i

-l is login
-i is interactive (I suspect you don't need it)

Although I probably have an unjustified aversion to adding
layers of BAT-file abstraction. The "mkzsh" tool does sound
easier.
