Try to create aux.h file on Windows 7

Try it :-)

I was playing with one package from Linux. I grab source code of package using Cygwin. This source code contained one funny file: aux.h.

Windows version of Vim refused to open this file with error message: Permission denied.

Even Notepad refused to open this file.

Finally Visual Studio gave me interesting hint about this aux.h file name:

 

I tried to zip this file by 7Zip and extract it back. Result was that 7Zip decompressed file as _aux.h.

Interesting issue. :-)
