Yeah, but cpio is still valuable for mucking with rpm's. I often do
this, when I want to extract code without installing the rpm...
rpm2cpio foo.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories
Granted, we don't have rpm yet, so...

d2u and u2d are already in the cygutils package.

Yep. But don't use it -- less is much better.

This is on my TODO list for cygutils. On linux, it is part of the
util-linux package, a grab bag of random small utilities. On cygwin,
cygutils is the grab bag of random small utilities: hence...
I've attached the util-linux source for rev.c -- it's a bit more complex
(complete?) than some of the other implementations...I'll probably use
it as the basis for cygutils' version.
