[SNIP]

Indeed, /dev/null doesn't exist.  But the CygWin32 UNIX-simulation
layer fakes it (and many other /dev special files) on the fly.  I have
included a program to test what the stat() call does.  For all of you
still using text-mode mounts, the source has CRs in all the right
places :-)

On my system (B19 with Sergei's latest DLL and EGCS 1.0.2 on
NT 4.0 SP3), my test program sees /dev/null just fine.  It also sees
progname when only progname.exe exists.  Compile and try it on
your system.

And if it doesn't see /dev/null, consider upgrading to the latest
software releases.  Remember the B in B19 means Beta.  I.e.,
Caveat Emptor.
