which maddeningly fails in Cygwin half the time, inexplicably. whereis prints extra info I don't want.

where, built in to windows, returns the path to any .exe or script in the %PATH%, reliably, it seems.

But this means checking if it's Windows or not ($OS env. variable), which is more cumbersome.

I would really like to fix Cygwin which not working (know why), when it fails :(

Long since done (or made possible in any places I didn't update it to this functionality), via getFullPathToFile.sh. Attempt for Python in progress via getFullPathToFile.py (moved outside of or never in repo)
