Hi Igor

It looks like codepage:ansi does the trick.


D:\>set CYGWIN=codepage:ansi

D:\>bash
vzell@summer /
07:16 PM [501]> echo $CYGWIN
codepage:ansi
vzell@summer /
07:16 PM [502]> cygpath -P -A
/c/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All Users/Startmenü/Programme
vzell@summer /
07:16 PM [503]> ls -d --show-control-chars "`cygpath -P -A`"
/c/Dokumente und Einstellungen/All Users/Startmenü/Programme/

Ciao
