Hello, Andrey, I'm wading through many files in two file trees. In particular, I'm looking at corresponding directories in the two trees where "diff -qr" revealed differences. I want the absolute truth of what the filename is with minimal distrations about how to achieve that. Then, I can focus on figuring how those files came about, and how the differences arose. -- 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
