Shouldn't 'ls' be suppressing the '.exe' extension for cygwin binaries in the same way that 'cp' appends it? Seems inconsistent not to. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
