(Actually, I think the 'official' one be 1.0.1-6 and will differ ONLY in that the dll will be stripped.) Michael Ring, have you run your tests using a stripped dll? I know you reported success on cygwin-apps with the unstripped dll, but I want to make sure it's okay when stripped, too. --Chuck Charles Wilson wrote: > > I've just uploaded bzip2-1.0.1-5 to sourceware. bzip2 provides the > bzip2.exe / bunzip2.exe executables, and is a patent-unencumbered but > highly effective compression tool.
