Is there something I can do to force a save? I do not want to delete then save, I'd rather update a file/dir that exists or create a file/dir that doesn't. I've unsuccessfully looked for the cp update notice. art -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
