Hi,

Following is the test case:
------------START-------------
C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\mkdir.exe -p c:\src c:\dst

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\touch.exe c:\src\newfile

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe c:\src\newfile c:\dst
/usr/bin/cp: cannot create regular file `c:\\dst/c:\\src\\newfile': No
such file or directory

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe c:\src\newfile c:\dst\newfile

C:\>c:\cygwin\bin\cp.exe c:\src/newfile c:\dst
------------END-------------

In the first case of cp command it does not copy the file whereas in the
next two cases it copies properly. I am "JAM" which produces statements
like in case 1. So, is there any way in which cp will work for case 1
also?

Thanks,
Seshasai
