Hi Jim, you wrote:

: mkdir -p "abcde/xyz/con/ffo/bar" hanging as it tries to do I/O to the

Yeah, a collegue of mine tried to get com961231.tgz via FTP, after a while
I figured out that specifying a harmless local filename works (I guess there's
no box with >100000 serial ports on the market 8-).
Did you finally got cygwin tar to work? Another collegue gave my an NT tar
binary but which handles only a blocksize of 512, not the standard 10kB,
while the manual of our fine new DDS3 says it works best with 32kB...
And is there any decent "mt" for NT, preferably with sources to spy at?
