Re: tcsh doesn't find commands that end with .exe

Dunno why it prints cmd.exe but by design (minus flaws) tcsh only

Odd. The native build of tcsh on Win32 seems to support this (it hashes both with and without .exe). See http://www.tcsh.org/MostRecentRelease and http://home.blarg.net/~amol/.


Does the cygwin port do something different to *not* cache .exe's? (I.e. does the internal API somehow not expose the names with .exe from cygwin mounts?)
