Re: cygwin not showing afp files since update

[Franz Joseph Bowman <franz.j.bowman@rrd.com>]

It looks like the program that created them is putting the T attribute

I don't think this used to hide them in cygwin but now it does.
Is this by design?  My coworker is using 32 bit Cygwin and is having
the same issue.
