Hi! I've just done: man echo on my cygwin setup, to find that for some reason it's started dropping the \ from the manpages, so instead of giving me a nicely layed out man page it's actually performing the actions. I've tried it for a few other pages, and it's doing the same thing. Anybody got an idea as to whats up? andy -- art27@cam.ac.uk - Assistant Technical Director - Queens' Bats -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
