Hello,

after further study, I noticed that using "c:/directory" works fine with my 
tests except tar.exe.

all of the following commands works
cp.exe c:/temp/tuner.h c:/test/
mv.exe c:/temp/tt.h c:/test

for tar.exe,
tar test.tar c:/temp/*
works.
however,
  tar cvf c:/test.tar  c:/temp/*
and
  tar xvf c:/test.tar
will fail

is tar.exe the only exception that won't work correctly when using "c:/"?

from my test, I didn't see any other commands has the problem in handling 
"c:/"

I understand people here may like /cygdrive/c more than c:/.  Just want to 
know if it is an accident feature that all other commands can work with c:/ 
except tar?

thanks.

tom
