"ls" finds file1 but "ls file1" does not

 EVIL - you are moving "FOO" to " foo " (Windows strips trailing spaces, 
but not leading spaces, so it is really moving to " foo").  YOU ARE 
ADDING SPACES to the filename.  Fix your script so that there are no 
spaces between "` and `".

Thought it was clever of me to make that little ` visible to my old eyes.

Also, as mentioned elsewhere, `ls -q' or `ls -Q' would have made this 
apparent.

ls -Q does, if invoked as "ls -Q" and not as "ls -Q as*"

Thanks for the help, and sorry for an inquiry that turned out to be 
off-topic.

 Many thanks to the cygwin folks.  I thought that fix would have to 
await the impending replacement of g77 with gfortran.
