Yes, my game with archive bit wasn't good. For a now a have a new patch (with the same idea), but it uses Extended Attributes of files to save "executable" and "symlink" flags. This patch works on NT only (both ntfs and fat), and does nothing on Windows 95. If anybody are interesting in this patch, I'll post it here. BTW, EA can be used in cygwin.dll for some other purposes. To save case sensitive names, for example :-) -- Sergey Okhapkin Moscow, Russia Looking for a job - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
