I didn't do that is I 'PING' wouldn't work and 'PING.EXE' did, so I (mistakenly) assumed that I would have to use 'ping.exe' and I hate typing extra chars when I'm concentrating. Why does cygwin worry about the extension for upper case program filenames, but not lower case? Now do I bother writing something to rename all .EXE to lower case? I don't think so. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
