Hi All! I have used Cygwin on XP for years don't know what I'd do without it - thanks to everybody who help make Cygwin available! I changed over to Windows 7 in the last 6 months or so, and have twice run in to an issue where listing/cat'ing files under Cygwin has different results than under Windows. The first time, I edited a text file with emacs in Cygwin. When the Windows EXE file I was working on read that file, it only saw the old results. I used windows to navigate to the same directory and found the old results when I used Notepad, Wordpad, or Visual Studio. Using Emacs or "cat" in Cygwin showed me the new file data. I believe that I also saw the new file data using a Windows version of emacs, though I'm not 100% positive. A reboot with a check disk ( took a _long_ time ) seemed to clear up this issue. Yesterday I ran in to a similar problem. I used Windows explorer to rename files in a directory, but when I used "ls" under Cygwin I saw the old file names. Again, a reboot with chkdsk seemed to fix the problem. Has anybody seen something like this before? What can I do to avoid this in the future? Thanks!
