Thanks for the reply, Dave,
Turns out 1.3 is just the version of the doc file, I'm up to date. Sorry
to give bum info. c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll is dated 9/4/2004.
I've just run a default install again, just in case.
I haven't done anything with perms. I installed cygwin as administrator,
not "just for me".
The behavior is the same, whether I log in using the Win2k admin account
or as my regular user account.
I've just repeated the process: I can't edit a dotted file, even though
I can "ls" it, and I can't edit files that don't conform to 8.3. If I
rename files to 8.3, I can edit them. SO I don't think it has anything
to do with permissions.
Thanks for your continued help.
julian.
