Hi,

When I type:
     ls -l /usr/bin/grep
I get:
     -rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None        85504 Mar 21 05:16 /usr/bin/grep

When I type:
     ls -l /usr/bin/grep.exe
I get:
     -rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None        85504 Mar 21 05:16 
/usr/bin/grep.exe

So far so good, but ...

When I type:
    file /usr/bin/grep.exe
I get:
    /usr/bin/grep.exe: MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console executable not 
relocatable

BUT, When I type:
    file /usr/bin/grep
I get:
    /usr/bin/grep: writeable, executable, can't read `/usr/bin/grep' (No 
such file or directory).

Is this what the cygwin gurus would expect? It seems a little strange to me.

/John Vincent.
