chmod in Cygwin bash shell

[Howell, Wendy A (N-Superior Tech Resources)]

I've been working with the Cygwin bash shell and using the chmod command but
something strange is happening...

When I create a file and change the mode using the -c flag it says that the
mode has been changed but when the ls -l command is envoked, the permissions
have stayed the same...

EXAMPLE:

bash-2.02$ ls -l junk
-rw-r--r--   1 2996     everyone       23 Jun 28 09:59 junk
bash-2.02$ chmod -c 777 junk
mode of junk changed to 0777 (rwxrwxrwx)
bash-2.02$ ls -l junk
-rw-r--r--   1 2996     everyone       23 Jun 28 09:59 junk
