Hi,
I have problems on my Vista box at work, on my home XP system it works fine.
I think it may be related to the Cygwin setup - group permissions? "patch"
also produces files with wrong file permissions...
Regards
Anders

It sounds like it would be better to use something like

xcopy /Y help\faq.txt FAQ   rather than using cygwin cp ....


Could you try changing Makefile.nmake to use xcopy ... to see if that 
works properly in your environment.

If so, let us know and I'll commit the change.
