try:
After creating temp.txt in Cygwin:
$ ls -l temp.txt
The permissions of this file will depend upon your setting
of 'umask'. For me, this yields:
$ umask
0022
So, my permissions are set to 'rw-r--r--'.
Because you are creating a text file, execution permission
should not be on by default. 'ex' appears to be behaving
correctly.
After 'c:\temp> copy temp.txt a.txt', try:
$ ls -l a.txt
For me, this yields permissions '---------', i.e., all "UNIX"
permissions are turned off. When I attempt to "run" the text
file 'a.txt', notepad opens with the contents of 'a.txt' because
on my system (Win2K, running Cygwin 1.3.15-2) I have notepad
associated with .txt files.
