Last evening I was trying to append together and unpack xb? for usersrc.tar.gz. I used copy /b xba+...+xbh usersrc.tar.gz and then tried ungzipping with the supplied gunzip.exe and cygwin.dll. This did not work. I then realized I wasn't using MKS bourne shell, but was still using command.com. So I started that up, redid the copy and then gunzipping worked (all done inside the MKS shell). I was also successful in unpacking cdksrc from with MKS Bourne shell. Anyway, just thought I would report this behavior. -Eric Twietmeyer ept@gamefx.com - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
