I think the easiest way to run the cygwin tar from CMD (if you don't want to just put your cygwin bin dir on your Windows PATH) is to create a bat file that calls the cygwin tar. That way you always get the latest cygwin tar & dll versions from the main install. Something like this seems to work fine (with very minimal testing): @echo off PATH=C:\cygwin64\bin C:\cygwin64\bin\tar %* ..wayne.. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
