If I try the following 'zcat all.tar.gz | tar tvf -' under b17 I get: drwxr-x-r-x 500/everyone 0 Dec 31 19:00 1969 ./ drwxr-x-r-x 500/everyone 0 Dec 31 19:00 1969 bin/ -rwxr-x-r-x 500/everyone 209920 Dec 31 18:58 1969 bin/ar.exe tar: Skipping to next file header Then the bash$ prompt comes back and an 'ls' command will execute very slowly. 'ps -ef' shows the zcat.exe and tar.exe are still active, but 'kill 134' just returns "Can't find process 134", while 'ps -ef' still shows both of them still active. I didn't see any of this beahvior with b16 and I'm comtemplating going back if I can't resolve this fairly soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Scott -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott Kay Powersoft Corp 561 Virginia Rd Concord, MA 01742 email: spkay AT powersoft DOT com FAX: 508-287-2557 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
