Folks
I tried executing 'ls -l' on a file. I addressed the file in various
ways, with my current directory (in Windows) set to c:\temp
ls -l test.txt
ls -l /cygdrive/c/temp/test.txt
ls -l
ls -l *
ls -l c:/temp/test.txt
In all cases, the owner, group, date and size are the same, as I
would hope them to be. However, the last result showed a mode
setting displayed was different than the value shown in the
others. This doesn't seem right, and I'm not sure what the correct
value should be. Any ideas?

Pasted from my example, with the name of the owner changed to "myself":
c:\temp>ls -l test.txt
-rwxrwx---+ 1 myself None 14 Jan 11 18:23 test.txt
c:\temp>ls -l /cygdrive/c/temp/test.txt
-rwxrwx---+ 1 myself None 14 Jan 11 18:23 /cygdrive/c/temp/test.txt
c:\temp>ls -l
total 1
-rwxrwx---+ 1 myself None 14 Jan 11 18:23 test.txt
c:\temp>ls -l *
-rwxrwx---+ 1 myself None 14 Jan 11 18:23 test.txt
c:\temp>ls -l c:/temp/test.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 myself None 14 Jan 11 18:23 c:/temp/test.txt
c:\temp>
