It depends on what you mean by "should". If it was up to me, the answer would be "no". If it is up to Microsoft, the answer is "yes". Cygwin can't override the underlying OS. >* is there any way to avoid this? (I mean, what I really want is to have a >text file named CON.html) I'm not aware of any way to override this. I suppose that on NT you could open the file in POSIX mode, but cygwin has no way of doing this via fopen. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
