use pview (NT resource kit)
pview95 (Platform SDK sample applications)
wintop (95 only? MS kerneltoys)
cygnus ps only shows procs for cygnus processes. (reasonable I think :).
/dev/null exists only in the mind of the cygwin.dll (and not always there)
try diff -ubB /dev/null file.c (use echo|diff -ubB - file.c or diff -urBbN ../emptydir . )
.\\NUL (./NUL) exists in every directory on FAT VFAT or NTFS
(it's a system device however it's not recognized by cygwin.dll)
(see any good dos book whoops I mean dosshell95/NT, er win32? book :)
try test -w ./DIR/. && echo itshere (the ending slash messes up stat I think)
