Gavin commented on FOR-905:
---------------------------

Someone who uses Forrest with Cygwin should try this.

In addition, may not be relevent but I got this in an email :-

<quote>...but as I understand it, Cygwin recently changed the default for how it handles line endings.  This caused a lot of scripts that I had which contained DOS line endings to break (even blank lines caused "syntax error: 
unexpected end of file"), as well as other problems that didn't seem to go away even after converting my line endings to unix style.  I got the problem to disappear (without ever really understanding it) by adding a system variable called "SHELLOPTS" with the value "igncr"...</quote>
