This relates to 'find' on Cygwin. I often force the mtime on some files to be in the future so that they will always appear at the top of a directory listing by reverse date which is my preferred format in Windows. This lets me leave notes to myself that will always be at the top of the list. I tried to keep 'find' from reporting these files using the following command line: find ./ -mtime +0 -mtime -1 but this found nothing. When I changed it to: find ./ -mtime 0 -mtime -1 it worked as desired and found all files less than a day old and not future-dated. Can someone tell me, please, if this is a bug or the expected behaviour. Thanks
