This feature works when cygwin programs are invoked from the windows
command shell:

C:\cygwin\tmp\testls>type files
files lsflags

C:\cygwin\tmp\testls>type lsflags
-a --color

C:\cygwin\tmp\testls>ls -l @files
-rw-rw-rw-    1 igor     None           14 Aug 14 19:03 files
-rw-rw-rw-    1 igor     None           11 Aug 14 19:02 lsflags

C:\cygwin\tmp\testls>ls @lsflags
.  ..  files  lsflags

C:\cygwin\tmp\testls>

It took the computational power of three Commodore 64s to fly to the moon.
It takes a 486 to run Windows 95.  Something is wrong here. -- SC sig file
