Sorry, but you DO have to convert all paths to Windows paths. If you =
don't want to then you should be using Cygwin instead.

  Good Day,=20

  I am trying to find out if the file-name I have is a directory or not!
  The following works on linux:
      if (stat("/var/tmp/", &b)) {
          if ( S_ISDIR(b.st_mode)) return(TRUE);    =20
      }

  On Windows XP - MinGW2.0 - Msys 1.0.9.06 :
  It doesn't work.  I get a ENOENT errorno back . But if I pass =
"C:\\msys\\1.0.9.06\\var\\tmp\\" to stat it passes?

  This is surely not the way stat must function, because I don't want to =
have to convert all paths to
  windows paths?

  Can anyone enligthen me as to the best way to get past this?

  Kind regards=20
  Shaun.
