I've got b17, which includes: GUNZIP.EXE 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93) Compilation options: DIRENT UTIME STDC_HEADERS HAVE_UNISTD_H ASMV gunzip's default behavior is to *compress* and not decompress. May I ask why? And how do I change this so that I do not have to type: gunzip -d every time I want to uncompress something. e.g. This is what I encounter: C:\cygnus\H-i386-cygwin32\bin>gunzip resume.txt.gz GUNZIP.EXE: resume.txt.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged Thanks for your help, TJ -- Trey Jackson trEy@cs.bErkElEy.Edu Q: Should I learn the parallel or telemark turn?
