See also franken.de for essentially the same info. You can also use pkzip on Windows or DOS. -- John > -----Original Message----- > From: Ajit George [mailto:gajit AT kurianinc DOT com] > Sent: Thursday, June 24, 1999 8:01 PM > To: Randall Schulz; cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com > Subject: RE: B20 (NT) xargs creates multiple commands, not just one > > > You don't even need to port it - the zip tools will build > under MSDOS.
