According to the man page for zip, -A is for adjusting the internal offset records within a pre-existing self extracting archive, created by prepending the 'SFX' stub to the front of the zip archive. However, as documented by the man page, -A only works on the Amiga port of zip. The SFX stub is not distributed with GNU zip -- it's actally part of the PKzip distribution I think. (It wouldn't make sense to have a GNU version of the SFX stub -- think about the sourcecode redistribution requirements...) --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
