The cygwin=binmode setting was propagated, but not *respected* in the child shell. However, your hint gave me the answer. It was my version of bash; I had compiled 2.03.0(2) and was using that.

Are there any special configuration settings I should choose when compiling bash? --Chuck > On Mon, Mar 13, 2000 at 06:51:06PM -0500, Charles Wilson wrote: > >(Sorry if this is a duplicate; my regular ISP is on the ORBS list right > >now...sigh...and I'm not sure if the first one made it) > > > >If I try to unpack a .tar.gz file with 'CYGWIN=nobinmode ntea tty' using > >a pipe, I get an error -- this is the expected behavior (if the > >tar-stream has binary characters..?). > > > >/usr/local/src/redhat/SOURCES/tmp > gzip -cd DelimMatch-1.04.tar.gz | > >tar xf - > >tar: Skipping to next file header > >tar: Archive - EOF not on block boundary > >tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now > > > >However, if my global environment settings contain 'CYGWIN=binmode ntea > >tty', then the first rxvt/bash window I open works thusly: > > > >/usr/local/src/redhat/SOURCES/tmp > echo $CYGWIN > >tty ntea binmode > >/usr/local/src/redhat/SOURCES/tmp > gzip -cd DelimMatch-1.04.tar.gz | > >tar xvf - > >DelimMatch-1.04/ > >DelimMatch-1.04/DelimMatch.pm > >DelimMatch-1.04/Makefile.PL > >DelimMatch-1.04/MANIFEST > >DelimMatch-1.04/README > >DelimMatch-1.04/test.pl > > > >Then, I start a subshell: in the first rxvt/bash window, I execute: rxvt > >-e bash &.
