Actually, `test -f foo' only fails on foo.exe on DJGPP (at least, according to claims - I don't have a DJGPP environment to test on) - it works on cygwin. $ gcc -o foo foo.c $ ls foo.c foo.exe $ test -f foo; echo $? 0 $ test -x foo; echo $? 0 $ test -f none; echo $? 1 $ test -x none; echo $? 1 - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
