Hi,
When I type:
ls -l /usr/bin/grep
I get:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 85504 Mar 21 05:16 /usr/bin/grep
When I type:
ls -l /usr/bin/grep.exe
I get:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 Administ None 85504 Mar 21 05:16
/usr/bin/grep.exe
So far so good, but ...
When I type:
file /usr/bin/grep.exe
I get:
/usr/bin/grep.exe: MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console executable not
relocatable
BUT, When I type:
file /usr/bin/grep
I get:
/usr/bin/grep: writeable, executable, can't read `/usr/bin/grep' (No
such file or directory).
Is this what the cygwin gurus would expect? It seems a little strange to me.
