Which version? I haven't seen any version that does that. Well, except for one I wrote myself a few years back ;-). > I just installed netcat v1.10 (I believe it is the lastest avaiable for > cygwin) but nc -h does not mention -X or -x switches. Yep, it sure don't. Cygwin's netcat package is the original avian.org version, there's a GNU version (hosted at sourceforge) that was forked from that, but AFAICT neither of them know about a -X switch, and GNU netcat uses -x to indicate that hexdump output is wanted, so I'm really curious to know what version you're using and where it comes from. Oh, and could you post the -h output please? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
