You did not say how you tried to create them so I'll have to guess what went wrong. See http://cygwin.com/problems.html You probably used a Windows program that assumes that all files have something before the period. As far as I know, no cygwin program (see setup/Editors) does that. Windows itself allows dot files and there are lots windows programs that will make them. For example (in XP Pro) cmd.exe and edit.com. But if possible use a cygwin editor -- you will have a better chance avoiding problems with line-endings and if your not using one, you should not expect support from this list. -- 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/
