The very latest cygwin, "all" updated yesterday - and Win98SE.

 For a particular reason I wanted to clear my D: drive.

Knowing all the peculiarities involved in such an operation
from MESSYDOS i thought that I'll try cygwin's mv...


Hannu AT p450 /cygdrive/e/TEMP
$ mv /cygdrive/d/* .
mv: `/cygdrive/d/_CD_IMAGES_/TKCD2001.cdi.exe' and
`./_CD_IMAGES_/TKCD2001.cdi'
are the same file
mv: `/cygdrive/d/_CD_IMAGES_/ELFA2000.cdi.exe' and
`./_CD_IMAGES_/ELFA2000.cdi'
are the same file

In other words: there seems to be some peculiarities here too.

1) No *.exe's in that directory, mv has obviously appended '.exe'.
2) Note that "." is /cygdrive/e/ -> the paths point to DIFFERENT drives
3) The entire contents of _CD_IMAGES_/ was left on D:


The cause to all this was clear when I attempted to copy the files with
Explorer:
a dialog saying "...sharing violation..." appeared.
 I had not succeded in closing down the CD-ROM emulator fully. After doing
so, all went smoothly.


 May I suggest that the BOFH-message above gets revised, it isn't
confusing enough! ;->
