My XML catalog under Cygwin uses full Windows URIs like uri="file:///c:/xml/docbook42/docbookx.dtd". That works for xsltproc and Saxon under a Cygwin shell. When I have to append to my Java CLASSPATH, I use paths like "/xml/saxon652". That's a Windows path without the drive letter. On the other hand, my Cygwin PATH environment variable uses Cygwin path naming, such as /usr/bin and /c/xml (I mount my C: drive as /c in Cygwin). -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
