Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2002 13:41:25 +0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 10 Jul 2002 13:41:25.0290 (UTC) FILETIME=[7C3370A0:01C22817] Hi, When I type: ls -l /usr/bin/grep I get: -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 85504 Mar 21 05:16 /usr/bin/grep When I type: ls -l /usr/bin/grep.exe I get: -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 85504 Mar 21 05:16 /usr/bin/grep.exe So far so good, but ... When I type: file /usr/bin/grep.exe I get: /usr/bin/grep.exe: MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console executable not relocatable BUT, When I type: file /usr/bin/grep I get: /usr/bin/grep: writeable, executable, can't read `/usr/bin/grep' (No such file or directory). Is this what the cygwin gurus would expect? It seems a little strange to me. /John Vincent. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
