Re: Looking for command-line UNIX-like 'tar' for Windows

try http://www.delorie.com/gnu/dl/autoindex.cgi/ftp.gnu.org/tar

Also, there's a very cool GNU cdrom, for just $35 (helps support GNU.org), containing everything GNU-ish for windows: order your copy by selecting the large, bold "Ordering" link at http://www.gnu.org -- look for:

GNU Software for MS-Windows and MS-DOS with 150 page users manual. 2nd edition.

Not just all the basic command-line utilities (find, awk, grep, sed, ls, rm, mv, cp, yadda-yadda), but also bash, gcc and a native windows version of emacs, and perl too -- gotta love it!

The GNU Software book contains DJGPP ports which don't always work so well. (Long filename issues). Steve --- steve.org.uk	[reply]

I'd be interested to hear about any specific examples (though I guess this may not be the best forum). Personally, I haven't encountered any such problems -- but then, I haven't tried pounding heavily on every utility...	[reply]
