Hallo cygwin,

Downloaded five minutes ago from mirrors.rcn.net:

$ tar xjvf patch-2.5-3-src.tar.bz2
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Kindprozeß gab Status 2 zurück.
tar: Fehler beim Beenden, verursacht durch vorhergehende Fehler.

What I did:

$ mv patch-2.5-3-src.tar.bz2 patch-2.5-3-src.tar.gz
$ gunzip patch-2.5-3-src.tar.gz

$ tar xvf patch-2.5-3-src.tar
patch-2.5-3/
patch-2.5-3/acconfig.h
patch-2.5-3/addext.c
patch-2.5-3/argmatch.c
patch-2.5-3/argmatch.h
patch-2.5-3/backupfile.c
patch-2.5-3/backupfile.h
[...]

How does setup.exe handles such cases?

Gerrit
