piping problems with cron+4nt

Wed Feb 18 09:23:00 GMT 2004

I've got a bunch of legacy 4NT batches I want to run from cygwin cron. When
run from 4NT started from bash these batches work fine but when started from
cron all lines with redirection and piping fail, e.g. when I run
 dir>q
file 'q' is not created,
 dir|sort
starts sort and it sits and waits for keyboard input. Also output from
external programs is lost, e.g. if batch looks like
 echo zzz
 zip zzz *
 echo qqq
and is run as 
0	2	*	*	*	4NT.EXE /c
ibackup.btm>>h:\\backup\\bk.log
file h:\backup\bk.log will look like
 zzz
 qqq
zip output is missing, although zip archive is created.
Any ideas?
Win XP SP1, just refreshed cygwin and 4NT to latest bulds whith no effect at
all.
