When I do the above on directory containing :

daf_2001-03_act.txt
daf_2001-04_act.txt

The content of the files are put on the screen as before.
When I do an ls I get the following files


daf_2001-03_act.txt daf_2001-03_act.txt~ daf_2001-04_act.txt daf_2001-04_act.txt~

As can see there are two new files with a ~ following them. But the filenames are the same.

Hmmm. This is a tough cookie isn't it!
