Thanks, but apparently this goes beyond the Cygwin element.

I tried that on a Linux bash:

1. Works fine as a line:

Code:

-bash-3.1$ cat <(printf "aaa\nbbb\n") <(printf "111\n222\n")
aaa
bbb
111
222

2. Won't work as a script:

Code:

 
-rw-r--r-- 1 cleseb01 cleseb01 51 Feb 11 16:27 script
-bash-3.1$ cat script 
cat <(printf "aaa\nbbb\n") <(printf "111\n222\n")
 
-bash-3.1$ sh script 
script: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
script: line 1: `cat <(printf "aaa\nbbb\n") <(printf "111\n222\n")'
