If I have well understood '/proc' is a virtual directory like '/cygdrive', but for it $ ls -lrt / dr-xr-xr-x 1 Administrator Administrators 0 Dec 1 2006 proc ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^ So, why not similar things for cygdrive? This was only my curiosity. Regarding the 'horrible', that date (01.01.1970) remembered me some negative experiences on old DOS.
