Re: Bash wont recognize any commands

You can copy from a MSDOS or bash window.  Since you are using Netscape
Mail, you can paste.  You can also redirect the output to a file using '>'
and then insert that into your message.

Without the information that cygcheck produces, no one here can do more than
make guesses.
