problem finding files (cygwin-related?)

[Jelle Huisman <jelle@jhnet.nl>]

Hi all,

I try to help a colleague who has successfully installed ConTeXt using 
the Windows installer and has started typesetting some documents. His 
installation has problems finding files. Using something like "\input 
./path/to/file.tex" works OK, but this doesn't: 
\externalfigure[./path/to/file.pdf] He gets a "figure ./path/to/file.pdf 
can not be found"-error, while the same code works OK with my local 
Windows in a VMware virtual machine. He happens to have cygwin installed 
(I don't have it) and I was wondering whether that is the course of his 
problems? How does cygwin interfere with finding the /path/to/the 
picture file? Can I solve this by escaping the path in some special way? 
Or would moving the picture to the current directory help?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Jelle
