From: Nellis, KennethI'm thinking that Cygwin Tcl's "pwd" should match Cygwin's and that "file separator" should return a Linux one.
knellis@COBQDPPJ1 ~ $ pwd /cygdrive/d/cyghome/knellis
knellis@COBQDPPJ1 ~ $ /cygdrive/c/cygwin/bin/tclsh84.exe % pwd D:/cyghome/knellis % file separator \ %
I was hoping my OP would get some traction. It seems the basic purpose of Tcl's set of "file" commands is to allow one to write platform-independent scripts that need to manipulate pathnames. The Cygwin implementation seems to be broken.
You've touched on a subject with lots of history and as such, I expect that's mostly the reason your previous post doesn't result in more response. I'll let you wade through the email archives if you're interested in all the nitty-gritty of that history but a quick summary of the current state is that TCL/TK on Cygwin is built to support Insight and on Windows Insight wants a Windows environment (mostly).
