Hi all, Perhaps this is very basic but I was not able to find the answer in faq/docs. Attached is a nice small program which does system("cmd /?"); The call works pretty well when I run it from Cygwin environment. In my situation I need to run standalone Cygwin programs (i.e. simply from Windows cmd.exe). In this case the program fails - system() does not seem to find cmd.exe and returns -1 (yes, cygwin1.dll is on PATH). If I change system() to good old CreateProcess() everything runs fine. My questions: 1) what is the reason for this behavior? 2) can I somehow alter the argument to system() to make it working? Or perhaps modify PATH or any other environment variable before running Cygwin program? Thanks in advance, Yuri
