Does this not work > on your system? Do you have to gunzip it first? I just did an upgrade to cygwin, and it appears I have other issues as well. From both DOS and bash, I type which gunzip.exe and I get /usr/bin/gnunzip.exe I type mount, and I get the following: bash-2.05b$ mount h:\usr\pkg\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode) h:\usr\pkg\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode) h:\usr\pkg\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode) h:\usr\pkg\cygwin on / type system (textmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount) I change directories to h:\usr\pkg\cygwin\bin, and there is no gunzip.exe. That's curious. I now see that gunzip.exe is there but the directory listing hid it, and it was 19 bytes in size and was marked a system file. > What is the value of the variable 'system-type'?? window-nt > Klaus > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.NET email is sponsored by: > SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! > http://www.vasoftware.com -- Thanks, Jeff ,---- | Jeffery B.
