@ -629,3 +629,12 @@ There is a bug in the Win32 API function GetFreeDiskSpace that
makes it return incorrect values for disks larger than 2 GB in size.
Perhaps that may be your problem?
@subsection Why doesn't Cygwin tcl/tk understand Cygwin paths?
The versions of Tcl/Tk distributed with Cygwin (e.g. cygtclsh80.exe) are
not actually "Cygwin versions" of those tools. They are built with the
@samp{-mno-cygwin} option to @code{gcc}, which means they do not
understand Cygwin mounts or symbolic links.
See the entry "How do I convert between Windows and UNIX paths?"
elsewhere in this FAQ.
