Right. It has the two files I mentioned below, and
nc.exe isn't a text file or makefile -- but is shown by the
cygwin "file" command as an executable.
You said:
I don't see the PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows
>>> string.
Whereas, when I used the file command, it printed out exactly
what you were searching for. Thus my assertion that your file
command is the likely culprit.
file /usr/bin/nc
>>
/usr/bin/nc: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64 (stripped to external PDB),
for MS Windows
As for the not-executable error message, have you checked,
as suggested elsewhere, whether or not you have some cheap
anti-virus installed that blocks programs that are not viruses
like 'nc'?
