P:\>echo""
'echo""' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I don't know what is happening on your system, because `echo""' works
for me (on Windows XP) as it does for Dave. It works both from the
Command Prompt window and from within a Makefile if I first say
SHELL=cmd.exe in it and run MinGW compiled Make 3.81.
Hello,
I have installed (in VMware) a stock Windows XP Pro SP2 (french)
downloaded from
Microsoft's MSDNAA (MSDN Academic Alliance, a form of partnership that enables
CS student to get "free" (as in without fees) access to Microsoft
products) and
`echo""' does not work here either.

I tried on 3 another machines which are part of a buildfarm (they also run
Windows XP Pro SP2 french) and if I run `cmd' from the Cygwin shell,
echo"" and
echo "" work:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
address@hidden ~ $ cmd

C:\cygwin\home\build>echo""
echo""
C:\cygwin\home\build>echo ""
echo ""
""
C:\cygwin\home\build>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(Notice the extra empty-line... weird)
Then, I tried to run 'Start>Execute>cmd' from a VNC session and this time, the
'echo""' thing did not work.
I can't explain this behavior however.
