With the Unix look and feel, do you type 'ls file' or 'ls.exe file'? There would be a LOT of upset users if we didn't do at least some magic for .exe. It's an unfortunate problem of running on Windows, while still providing apps that can be invoked from non-cygwin processes (if we wanted, we could name cygwin binaries with no extension, just as in Unix, but then native windows apps couldn't easily run them). -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
