thanks Christopher for your response.
This is the observation I made wrt to the command line delimiters for
batch files.
cmd.exe delimiters
==============
space,
equalto(=)
semicolon (;)
comma(,)
cygwin 1.7.27 delimiters
==================
space
quotes("")
equalto(=)
comma(,)
cygwin 1.7.28 delimiters
===================
space
quotes("")
comma(,)
equalto(=) not supported
Was there any reason why just =(equalto) was removed as a command line
separator for cygwin 1.7.28 , while the other delimiters like comma
are still supported ? This is causing existing batch files that use
equalto(=) as a command line delimiter to fail with cygwin 1.7.28
thanks,
Prakash
