Hello,

Under Windows XP,

running the following command:

c:\> tar cvf ctree.tar /test/toolkit/sbin/test.exe 
/test/toolkit/lib/test/test.ccc
/test/toolkit/demos/test/chapters/startup/test.cc

will get the error message:
The system cannot execute the specified program.


but
c:\> tar cvf ctree.tar /test/toolkit/sbin/test.exe
/test/toolkit/demos/test/chapters/startup/test.cc

will work

Anything I missed here? Thanks.
