! \par Msys will convert POSIX paths that are used as arguments to Win32 paths. This
! \par is done for any executable not in /bin and /usr/bin. If the executable is
! \par dependant on the msys-1.0.dll then it must be located in the /bin or /usr/bin
! \par directory. This means that you now have a POSIX environment that will
! \par automagically do the right thing wrt changing the paths passed as arguments.
! \par Arguments beginning with a / and have a length of two will be passed to the
! \par program unchanged to allow for the command.com/cmd.exe (Win32) style switch.
! \par This means that if you want to pass a drive as an argument you must use a
! \par notation similar to /c/ or c:/ (one may work better than the other in some
! \par cases). An example of a Win32 style switch is `write /p /mydocs/msys-rocks.'
! \par In this example write (a.k.a. WordPad) exists in the c:\\winnt\\system32
! \par path on my system. The /p tells write to print the document. And
! \par /mydocs/msys-rocks converts to c:\\msys\\1.0\\mydocs\\msys-rocks so that write can
! \par find it.
! \par
! \par Version 1.0.3 added checks for paths following an `=' and `-X' where X
! \par is a program switch.
\par
! \par Version 1.0.4 added symlink resolution, removed the dependancy that the path
! \par must begin with a / and removed bash.exe since sh.exe is bash.exe anyway. Also
! \par added diff, diff3 and head to the distribution. An MSYS icon exists in the
! \par rxvt binary.
\par
! \par Version 1.0.5 is a bug fix release that filters out the conversion of quoted
! \par relative paths. So that -DSOME_CONSTANT=\\"1.0.5\\" can be properly input into
! \par gcc. Also fixed the problem with sh.exe reading /etc/profile with \\r\\n line
! \par endings. Added the binaries true.exe, false.exe, tail.exe and fold.exe.
! \par Updated the gmake binary to the Cygwin version including the --win32 switch. I
! \par am suggesting to use this version of make and have copied /bin/gmake.exe to
! \par /bin/make (yes without the .exe). If you wish to go back to the "native"
! \par version of make typing make.exe will get you there.
\par
! \par Version 1.0.6 is a bug fix release plus some additional binaries. See the MSYS-1.0.6-changes.rtf document for specifics.
\par
! \par Version 1.0.7 added path list conversion and returns the Win32 path with pwd. There are a number of other fixes which you can find in the MSYS-1.0.7-changes.rtf document.
\par
! \par \plain\f2\fs20\b\i STARTING Msys:
! \par \plain\f2\fs20 Starting Msys should now just be a matter of clicking on the MSYS icon on your desktop or Start menu. If you have the File Manager window open, you may now click on it and have it start also. Doing these presents you with a console window within which you may enter commands.
\par
! \par \plain\f2\fs20\b\i Other documentation:\plain\f2\fs20
! \par Be sure to read the MSYS_ series. I have tried to document how I'm changing
! \par the cygwin code to allow us to use it with MSYS. These can be found in the
! \par /doc/msys directory, or you can find them in the /usr/doc/msys directory.
\par
! \par \plain\f2\fs20\b\i Using different binaries:\plain\f2\fs20
! \par You can't use Cygwin binaries at all. You can use Win32 native binaries but you
! \par should put them into the /mingw/bin directory tree. If you wish to replace an
! \par MSYS binary with a native win32 version then delete the /bin version.
