I was trying to get cygpath and cygstart to launch a non-cygwin-compiled program (gvim) and running into difficulties with files that have spaces in them. e.g.: echo hello > "file with spaces.txt" cygstart gvim "file with spaces.txt" causes gvim to see three files, "file", "with", and "spaces.txt". Is this a basic Windows limitation or is there some hack to get around this? cygstart appears to be the dead end.
