Hi,

I'm using cygwin 1.3.15 in WinME:

     Cygwin DLL version info:
         DLL version: 1.3.15
         DLL epoch: 19

When I try to "ls" a file I know to be
there, I'm told it isn't:

     $ which ftp telnet

      /usr/bin/ftp
      /usr/bin/telnet

     $ cd /usr/bin
     $ ls -l ftp telnet

      -rwxr-xr-x 1 unknown unknown 57344 Jan 6 2002 ftp*
      -rwxr-xr-x 1 unknown unknown 79360 Jan 6 2002 telnet*

     $ less ftp telnet

      ftp: No such file or directory
      telnet: No such file or directory

I don't really want to less a binary file,
just see whether the file's presence
is recognized.  I wouldn't think it's a
mount problem, but here's the mount
information:

     $ mount
     C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type
     system (binmode)
     C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
     C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
     C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
     c: on /c type user (textmode)
     d: on /d type user (textmode)

Thanks if you have any suggestions.

Fred
