Unless you really need to use cygwin for other things, it sounds very much like you are asking for a non-cygwin way to deal with tar files. This really isn't a list for discussing non-cygwin solutions to problems. I see that a google search for "tar windows" unearths quite a few options so you should be able to find some no-cygwin program which solves your problem fairly easily. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
