I would like to add that GNU tar that comes with cygwin distribution has always had the same problem going back several years. For example, $ cd /tmp $ touch foo $ tar cf foo.tar foo $ tar tf /cygdrive/c/cygwin/tmp/foo.tar foo $ tar tf c:/cygwin/tmp/foo.tar c: Unknown Host tar: c\:/cygwin/tmp/foo.tar: Cannot open: I/O error tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I searched the FAQ file for "tar", but could not find any mention of this problem. I've been reading cygwin list for some time, but have not seen any mention of this issue. My apologies if this issue has already been discussed. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
