EVIL - you are moving "FOO" to " foo " (Windows strips trailing spaces,
but not leading spaces, so it is really moving to " foo"). YOU ARE
ADDING SPACES to the filename. Fix your script so that there are no
spaces between "` and `".

Thought it was clever of me to make that little ` visible to my old eyes.

Also, as mentioned elsewhere, `ls -q' or `ls -Q' would have made this
apparent.

ls -Q does, if invoked as "ls -Q" and not as "ls -Q as*"
Thanks for the help, and sorry for an inquiry that turned out to be
off-topic.

I am reluctant to upgrade because the use of large static
fortran arrays with cygwin/g77 seems to be a fragile issue and my
current installation is now working (but only with -mno-cygwin).

Many thanks to the cygwin folks. I thought that fix would have to
await the impending replacement of g77 with gfortran.
