Subject: jar (fastjar) 0.92-gcc corrupts files
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2003 13:14:58 -0500
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

hi there, i've noticed that this cygwin-distributed application
("/bin/jar.exe") often corrupts files it archives, especially binaries, the
evidence mainly being that md5sums change after the archiving/dearchiving
operation. text files also sometimes get corrupted, but so far i've only
seen ignorable whitespace corruption. thus, i've switched to sun
microsystem's j2sdk-1.4 jar.exe program until this issue gets resolved.
thanks so much -- mike andrews
