I assume that foo has a .exe extension. ls -l will tack on a .exe to a file name if it can't find it without the extension. ls is probably the only cygwin utility that will do that, with the possible exception of 'cp' (depends on the version of cp and there are bugs in all versions). So, the short answer is 'always add the .exe extension'. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
