I did this: mv gendef-1.0~svn2931-1.cygport gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.cygport mv gendef-1.0~svn2931-1.cygwin.patch gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.cygwin.patch mv gendef-1.0~svn2931-1.src.patch gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.src.patch cygport ./gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.cygport get cygport ./gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.cygport all and it behaved exactly as you would expect. I repeated the experiment with a hyphen rather than an underscore, and that worked just fine, too. All that appears to matter is that the separator character between "1.0" and "svnNNNN" is not a digit or decimal point. (For all I know, a decimal point would work too, but I'll leave that as an exercise for the student...) -- Chuck
