RE: Inconsistence on file operation when the name already exists with exe extension

[Aaron Schneider <notstop at users dot sourceforge dot net>]

--On an empty dir--:

touch file.exe

touch file.img

touch file doesn't create the corresponding file.

--Then--

touch helpp

cp helpp file

cp: can't create regular file «file»: File exists

On rm file it removes the file.exe instead of saying file not found.

Is this behavior intended? This is not unix like, the filename should be preserved as is
