Frequently I like to see how much swap space Win95 is wasting away by checking the \windows\win386.swp file. But in bash, it gives permission denied on a simple ls. bash$ dir //D/Win95/*SWP ls: //D/Win95/WIN386.SWP: Permission denied bash$ dir //D/Win95/WIN386.SWP ls: //D/Win95/WIN386.SWP: Permission denied Feature, or bug? - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
