Access Denied (XP Home SP1, cygwin-1.3.15

[Harig, Mark A.]

try:

   After creating temp.txt in Cygwin:

   $ ls -l temp.txt

The permissions of this file will depend upon your setting
of 'umask'.  For me, this yields:

   $ umask
   0022

So, my permissions are set to 'rw-r--r--'.

Because you are creating a text file, execution permission
should not be on by default.  'ex' appears to be behaving
correctly.

After 'c:\temp> copy temp.txt a.txt', try:

$ ls -l a.txt

For me, this yields permissions '---------', i.e., all "UNIX"
permissions are turned off.  When I attempt to "run" the text
file 'a.txt', notepad opens with the contents of 'a.txt' because
on my system (Win2K, running Cygwin 1.3.15-2) I have notepad
associated with .txt files.
