To put this on-topic, use the java wrapper scripts I posted a while ago (they are also in the cygwin-apps CVS, under wrappers/java). They contain a "jar" wrapper script (which needs to be edited, hence it's not a package yet) that understands Cygwin paths, etc. So, basically, you'll need to run /usr/bin/find . -type f -a ! -name \*.pch -a ! -path \*CVS\* | /usr/local/bin/jar cvf@ ../archive.jar > Since we are not allowed to discuss jar here, is there a Cygwin utility that > produces Windows ZIP files that will work with find?

You were missing the '-type f' > Oh - and one last question: is there any document that compares bzip with > bzip2 and gnuzip and winzip? Ain't no such animal as 'gnuzip' -- did you mean 'gzip'? 'bzip' is a patent-ridden ancestor to 'bzip2', and is rarely used these days (if at all). See, for example, the 'bzip' article at <http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Bzip> (the sixth match in a Google search for 'bzip', BTW).
