RE: Cygwin is saving my ass


Yeah...I use shell scripts to rename and rearrange music and podcasts on
my MP3 Players. I just don't understand why the original namers can't
get the Year before Month before Day concept.

Without cygwin, i wouldnt have my directory sorting algorithm running on

windows. DOS has no way of (easily) sorting files into
c:\{YEAR}\{MONTH}\{MIMETYPE}\
(where Year Month and Mimetype are the year month and mimetype of the 
file in a list of oh say 30000 files.)

i _could_ impliment this in vb, but bash is faster.
