Hi Folks,

Not sure I'm in the right place - but - I'm having a problem with the "mv" 
command in Cygwin's Unix emmulator... The man page directed me to this 
address... I have a bunch of files that all start with the "-" character (-moo, 
-moo1, -moo2)... Obviously the "-" is treated as a switch in the Unix world - 
so you can't do simple moves as you would in Solaris... I'm not sure if the 
goal of your GNU release is supposed to match the functionality of Unix but I 
just wanted to point this out in case you were unaware...

In Solaris - this works: 
 
    mv -f - '-moo' SCO-moo

In Cygwin - it does not...

Thanks...

Regards,
Scott
