Re: ls problem


Thanks for the info.  I've read the FAQ and it mentioned something about the
// notation on the PATH environment variable.  I checked my PATH variable
and there was no presence of the // notation.  I then set the PATH to
include only the usual bin directories but "ls -l" is still considerably
slow.  I try both "time ls -b" and "time ls -l" and there is considerable
difference.  The cygwin1.dll version I am using is 1.3.15-cygwin-1-3-15-1.
