Hmm. Does Absoft have a Cygwin-based compiler? I didn't think so, but I
don't actually know. So if I've got it right, you compiled with a
Windows-based compiler and then are getting system() to successfully
run a Cygwin shell command? I'm moderately impressed that works at
all... or maybe I misunderstand. I've only done token things with
Cygwin, but I've occasionally wondered how interaction between
Cygwin-based and WIndows-based tools would work. (For example, whether
I could successfully have a Cygwin-based version of expect interacting
with a program compiled by one of the non-Cygwin Windows f95 compilers.
If I've got this anything close to right, it really sounds like a tech
support question for Absoft rather than a general Fortran question (and
it wouldn't surprise me if the tech support answer were just "we don't
support that", but it shouldn't hurt to ask).
