Thanks, for quick response!
My files starts with "#!/usr/bin/csh", you say that, I have to change all
scripts in c-shell's to shell, doesn't cygwin support c-shell?
Obviously "test.exe" was an example filename. The file with extension
".exe.exe" doesn't run. The file with '.exe' extension run's from path but
only if it called without extension. In UNIX I can run any file marked 'x'
executable in his attributes.
Cheers,
Vladimir

In that case, you should read the documentation. Such as the FAQ.

Read the FAQ entry "Why doesn't my shell script work?"

"test" is a bad choice for a program name, because it conflicts with
/bin/test and possibly a shell builtin. You should rule that out
before reporting problems running "test.exe".

Are you talking about the forward or backward slash character? The
forward slash ('/') is the directory separator in UNIX and Cygwin.
The backward slash ('\') is the directory separator in Windows, and is
an escape character in UNIX and Cygwin shells (bash, tcsh).
See also the FAQ entry "How do I convert between Windows and UNIX
paths?"
Hope this helps.
