From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: klaus.berndl@sdm.de To: merlin_electronic@t-online.de, cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: AW: documentation archive Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 06:15:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2000-12/msg00878.html we loaded cgwin-docs_tar.tar, but we can not open it. tar says "hmm, seems not to be a tar archive" and winzip read a header with 0 byte. Can you help us ? You have probably downloaded a *.tar.gz file with a Windows program like Netscape. These programs rename auto. files with more than one point in it to a name with underscores and so on (this is very annoying). You can avoid this if you already correct the name in File-Save dialog of netscape. Rename your already loaded file cgwin-docs_tar.tar to cgwin-docs.tar.gz and extract it with "tar -xzvf cgwin-docs.tar.gz" and it will work (i hope :-). Klaus -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
