That means that cat would be keeping the foo open, which means that cygwin would be using "unlink-on-last-close" semantics. The UNIX/linux/cygwin method EOF character is CTRL-D. Otherwise, I can't duplicate this behavior on either XP or W2K on either a FAT or a FAT32 disk. >In playing around with this, I'm getting the feeling that cygwin maintains >a shadow permission list for each file. Nope. My WAG is that you are running some other software running in the backgroundwhich is interfering with normal windows behavior. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
