touch seems to be available, at least under bash it is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ which touch
/bin/touch
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ touch .dvipsrc
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $
any other way I can check this?

Yes, indeed. Tramp tried to modify the time stamp of the local file
copy with the command "touch". This didn't work; likely Tramp didn't
find the "touch" command in your Cygwin environment. Could you check
this?
