With the Unix look and feel, do you type 'ls file' or 'ls.exe file'? There would be a LOT of upset users if we didn't do at least some magic for .exe. It's an unfortunate problem of running on Windows, while still providing apps that can be invoked from non-cygwin processes (if we wanted, we could name cygwin binaries with no extension, just as in Unix, but then native windows apps couldn't easily run them). --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enig8441D40EB776C1A2ACF89889 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJNI3qjAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqYqUH/1yxDQjmzAZpdpoXS7rS44iJ xgzSqy+Az4f2HgkYrihuh+SUNScpPFdigCDQ4iiPFSX7DZ7hLFpbnuoZ9XISUGP/ nO+oYHoGbOHB3H1+ZihGWC+ORz+kz8i5DXyCv3AWbG9U7eGkIOxgqFUqaPlTQszY x9NlVaCsynsmScihyU/btw5DLWXTxjsiOFKAicZh9BuQp02rQ7YrVLLo802O2+t7 aE141DUmLhVf/lXgUREEL8HkzgQ6oM1BBKD58vvCafmEf39YoIcixowostH3TNY0 ri6+hhx7XxjW025FFXKDRJAujfKMLBlN+afXZHCzJNhnGHR62C2pegDoYf2irkA= =ZB8+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8441D40EB776C1A2ACF89889--
