Hi,

OK.  But later on, command "tex" is called.
If both tex and tex.exe exist in the same directory in path, what does
bash/Cygwin do?  Doesn't it complain that the file is not executable?
(``Permission denied'', perhaps.)

But my main answer is: if you have your setup that screwed, you deserve
what you get.  (OTOH, having tex.exe and tex/ in the same place makes
more sense.)

Regards,
