If I use cp to copy a file, in this case an executable, I get "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" when I try to run the copied file. The copied file also now differs from the original. $ ls -l /bin/sum.exe -rwxr-x---+ 1 sam Users 26624 Dec 21 02:32 /bin/sum.exe $ cp /bin/sum.exe copysum.exe $ ls -l copysum.exe -rwxr-x--- 1 sam None 26713 Dec 22 14:35 copysum.exe $ cmp /bin/sum.exe copysum.exe /bin/sum.exe copysum.exe differ: char 119, line 1 $ ./copysum.exe This program cannot be run in DOS mode. Anybody else experiencing this? I have tested this out on three different computers that have been updated today, all produce the same results. On a box thats running the older cygwin, cp copies the files exactly and I have no trouble running them.
