Hi Corinna, Yes I am. And I did it again using the full path to the executable (c:/apps/cygwin being my Cygwin installation directory). peugeot[/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32]> c:/apps/cygwin/bin/cp notepad.exe notepad_copy.exe peugeot[/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32]> c:/apps/cygwin/bin/diff notepad.exe notepad_copy.exe Files notepad.exe and notepad_copy.exe differ Do you think it has to do with the fact that I installed Cygwin to use files in DOS mode (in one of the first tab of the Setup.exe application)? Have you found anything suspect in my cygcheck log?
