Command.com?
Perhaps you were referring to cmd.exe. I use spaces in paths in the batch scripts that I write for windows and nothing "chokes" so other than that I have no idea what you are referring to.

Actually rather trivial in my experience. At least once one is aware of it and handles it properly. Much harder for example, in my experience, to track down different types of syntax for different script languages.

Pass a path from one .bat script to another - I bet you'll be lost in escaping in no time.

I bet I would be lost in complexity in no time so paths have nothing to do with it.
Script languages for OS shells are quick convenience only. For complex solutions I write applications in real languages.

Funny, how windows-minded people are struggling to comprehend such a simple thing as Unix Way. That's why automation is something nearly unheard of in the windows world.

There is no struggle for me given that I use both OSes and have delivered products intended to be run on both, sometimes the same product. But given that I do in fact deliver products and must deal with support issues I understand that the target is not my own preconceived biases but rather what the target OSes use and what customers expect.

Maybe in your world.

Cygwin? Maybe I'm getting too old now but I never heard of it until I saw you write about it.

Unless you have a use for it you probably wouldn't hear about it - I used it a few years ago to enable SSH on my Win box - works very well and reasonably light on resources.

Question to ask myself later: what is SSH?

Tried using it a few years ago for something but couldn't get it to work so found another way.

A multinational team of researchers led by psychologist and American expat Jason Rentfrow of the University of Cambridge in the U.K. has sought to draw the regional lines more clearly, literally mapping the American mood, with state-by-state ratings of personality and temperament.

You do realize that by mentioning a jazz artist you lose all credibility as a developer? One of the CP cardinal rules is that you have to be a metalhead.

I guess I've never listened to any single genre. I enjoy classical and jazz as much as rock and metal (...while coding...) (did I already mention I also like Prince[^] ). The important thing is that the music is done with soul in it .
But I think I also qualifyto the metalhead category. I started with Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, AC/DC in the 70's and 80's and these days I like to listen newer bands like Nightwish[^], Within Temptation[^], Amaranthe[^] or Sirenia[^]
