Subject:	the tar from bootstrap.zip doesn't work
Mime-Version:	1.0
X-Mailer:	mail.com
X-Originating-IP:	203.200.7.129

Hi,

I am trying to configure and build cygwin from the sources.
I dowloaded all the src-tar.gz files from the site
ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp.

I also downloaded the bootstrap.zip.
I unzipped this .zip file using winzip.
I am working on windows-98 pc.
My working dir is c:\cygwin
It created a directory bin and tmpbin. It contains the following files
gzip.exe
tar.exe
cygwin1.dll

I added this dir to my path
path=%PATH%;c:\cygwin\bin.
When i use this tar with to untar the -src.tar.gz files as below

tar xvfz c:\temp\latest\ash\ash-20010129-src.tar.gz.

tar (grandchild) Cannot open archive
c:\temp\latest\ash\ash-20010129-src.tar.gz.
tar (grandchild) Error is not recoverable: exiting now
gzip : stdin : unexpected end of file.
cygwin\bin\tar.exe: child returned status 1
cygwin\bin\tar.exe: error exit delayed due to previous errors.

I have downloaded inthe binary mode. The same archive with the same command
untars correctly on a linux box.

Please do help me.

thanks in advance
Deepak
