Hello,
So I just noticed that 3.1.9 is advertised to work under cygwin...
but is it supposed to work *well* yet?
I notice that "echo *" seems to only ever yield "no matches found".
And there seems to be a bug where setting (but not exporting) a
variable in one script and 'source'ing another does not result in the
second script seeing that variable. But I've not been able to
reproduce this with a succinct example.
Can someone fill me in on the state of cygwin support?
many thanks,
Greg Klanderman

Could you provide example of script that exibits an error?

Well, I cannot comment on stock 3.1.9 at all. Current CVS version does work;
3.1.9-dev-6 should work OOTB if you have recent enough Cygwin version (with
one minor problem). I use (and ported it :-) under cygwin-1.1.4 and
binutils-20000722-1.
I must admint, I do not spend much time in Zsh under Cygwin, but almost all
regression tests passed (failed are related to unsupported features).

Hi Andrej,
Sorry for the false alarm, after upgrading cygwin (from b20,
embarrassingly enough) zsh works great...
Thanks so much for your efforts porting zsh to cygwin, I use windows
as little as possible but several people I work with do, and they will
certainly appreciate it, as will I whenever I'm helping one of them
out! I guess now "bash" is completely without reason to exist...
