Yes, thanks, taking a look at bzip2.c shows, that there's 
simply no exit-call after displaying the license.

Is the following patch reasonable ?

Since that is a target independent problem, I assume you should
ask on the bzip mailing list.  But when the Cygwin bzip maintainer
is around, he wants to chime in here, perhaps.

Re: Editing zipped files with VIM under cygwin

[Strohhaecker, Bernd]

Seems I've been a little hasty when stating everything's ok :-(

Indeed, vim's function executable("name") returns 1 for everything, 
also for not existing programs.

Looking at the sources I've found that:

1. vim (6.0.93) tests the existance of 'name' in os_unix.c 
   inside the function mch_can_exe with:

   sprintf((char *)buf, "which %s", name);
   ...
   retval = (*p != NUL && strstr((char *)p, "not found") == NULL);
   return retval;

2. which (which-1.4) returns, if the command wasn't found:
   fprintf (stderr, "no %s in %s\n", cmd, PATH);

Which one should be changed ?

That's indeed what I get, but unfortunately also with:
$ SHELL=/bin/bash vim foo.gz

Nevertheless, thanks a lot.

Another guess:  You have $VIM set to a directory containing
a native windows version of vim.  And there's a global vimrc
file containining a `set shell=...' line.  Or $VIMRUNTIME.
Or $VIMINIT.

Or did you check that you don't have a .exrc and  .vimrc
file, containing different settings?

Also no. My shell was certainly bash. I think I've had a general
problem with any part of my installation, which I couldn't find.
After de- and re-installing whole cygwin everything works. 
Even after restoring ~ with all my personal settings.

Also today I've absolutely no idea what was wrong.

Anyhow, I hope I didn't waste too much of your time.
And thanks a lot for your efforts,

Bernd

No, bash. Well, I'll try to be more exactly.

1. I'm using NT 4 SR 5 (german) with cygwin 1.3.5, vim 6.0.93-1, bzip
1.0.1-6
under GNU bash, version 2.05.0(8)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

2. VIM checks the existance of a zip-prog with the function:
let e = executable(name)
This fails on my (cygwin-)system for any program:
:echo executable("bash")
Rufe Shell auf, um "(which bash) >/tmp/v645258/1 2>&1" auszuführen

Datei "/tmp/v645258/1" kann nicht gelesen werden-1

3. if the above check fails, VIM does a second one:
let r = system(name . " --version")
And this one fails only for bzip2 (not for gzip !). The same seems to
happens at the shell:

root@LBWSNT358 ~
$ bzip2 --version > xx 2>&1

--> No prompt here !!!

4. Meanwhile I've found a workaround. After changing my VIM-settings for
shellredir 
from '>%s 2>&1' to '>%s 2>1' also ':e xx.bz2' works, for whatever reasons.

But nevertheless there are IMO two bugs:
1. VIM's 'let e = executable(name)' doesn't work.
2. 'bzip2 --version > xx' doesn't finish.

Or do I miss anything here ?

Kind regards, 

Bernd

Did you install the which package?  `which' is not a bash
internal command.

I can reproduce that but don't know why that happens, currently.

Did you install the which package?  `which' is not a bash
internal command.

I can reproduce that but don't know why that happens, currently.

No, bash. Well, I'll try to be more exactly.

1. I'm using NT 4 SR 5 (german) with cygwin 1.3.5, vim 6.0.93-1, bzip
1.0.1-6
under GNU bash, version 2.05.0(8)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

2. VIM checks the existance of a zip-prog with the function:
let e = executable(name)
This fails on my (cygwin-)system for any program:
:echo executable("bash")
Rufe Shell auf, um "(which bash) >/tmp/v645258/1 2>&1" auszuführen

Datei "/tmp/v645258/1" kann nicht gelesen werden-1

3. if the above check fails, VIM does a second one:
let r = system(name . " --version")
And this one fails only for bzip2 (not for gzip !). The same seems to
happens at the shell:

root@LBWSNT358 ~
$ bzip2 --version > xx 2>&1

--> No prompt here !!!

4. Meanwhile I've found a workaround. After changing my VIM-settings for
shellredir 
from '>%s 2>&1' to '>%s 2>1' also ':e xx.bz2' works, for whatever reasons.

But nevertheless there are IMO two bugs:
1. VIM's 'let e = executable(name)' doesn't work.
2. 'bzip2 --version > xx' doesn't finish.

Or do I miss anything here ?

Kind regards, 

Bernd

Editing zipped files with VIM under cygwin

[Strohhaecker, Bernd]

Hello,

I'm using a German NT 4 SR 5 with cygwin's:
cygwin 1.3.5, vim 6.0.93-1, bzip 1.0.1-6

While trying VIM autocommands with zipped files, the following
problems occured when using cygwin's vim:

VIM - Vi IMproved 6.0 (2001 Sep 26, compiled Nov  8 2001 23:30:08)
Inclusive der Korrekturen: 1-20, 22, 21, 23-93
Übersetzt von corinna@COMPAQ

BTW, I don't have these problems with vim/gvim compiled with MS VC++ 6.0

editing *.gz-files works, but in 1st call there's an error message:

...
Ausführung von BufRead Auto-Kommandos für "*.gz"
Autokommando call s:read("gzip -d")
Rufe Shell auf, um "(which gzip) >/tmp/v568240/0 2>&1" auszuführen

Editing *.bz2-files does not work, the 1st call shows:

Zeile    5:

"bzip2 --version >x 2>&1" seems to wait for an input/EOF ???

Dunno.  I've just checked it here in tty and notty mode and
I don't have that problem.  Reading both, gzipped and bzipped
files wors fine.  Are you using *gasp* cmd as shell?
