Haase" , felix.hove@ision.net Cc: cygwin@cygwin.com In-Reply-To: <196906052094.20021007204624@familiehaase.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Gerrit and Felix, Even I use full path C:\cygwin\bin\tail.exe C:\cygwin\bin\ ParaTestDatalogStripped.gold (I copy a file ParaTestDatalogStripped.gold to C:\cygwin\bin folder) it still does not work. I also add C:\cygwin\bin as first in path, still does not work. Another interesting thing is: Originally, the filename is ParaTestDatalogStripped.gold. I use tail.exe on this file, system tell me can not find ParaTestDatalog.gold. Then, I rename the file to ParaTestDatalog.gold, system still tell me can not find ParaTestDatalog.gold. At last, I rename the file to ParaTest.gol, system still tell me can not find ParaTestDatalog.gold. So odd and so stubborn. Any idea? Thanks, Yu --- "Gerrit P.
