I have the same build 16299.248 and I get the same behaviour. Perhaps consider: http://www.zoneutils.com/regtricks/filesystem.htm for parameters to experiment with. You can use fsutil to control some of these to avoid direct registry modifications. I expect it is more subtle otherwise the pervasive nature of the flags would mean that any file creation would result in UC names, not just dos2unix. i.e. ls > Foo.txt should produce FOO.TXT My dos2unix is version 7.3.5 Cygcheck -V is 2.9.0 > > Fergus > > -- > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html > FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ > Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
