I think that error message is relatively clear - unzip can't find the file you've specified. Have you tried copying the file, using another file, or doing anything else with it? A basic test would be: ls $(cygpath c:\\apertium\\figaro.docx) if ls tells you the file does not exist, then there's at least a starting point for finding the source of the error. > GOSH !!! what a mess !!! > > Apertium has never been tested on windows !!! > > Or what ??? It has been tested, but only by technically minded people. We're quite aware that it's far from usable for the average Windows user. A windows GUI has been developed that hides the details, but we're waiting for the source to be released formally before we can recommend it. > Don’t never ever tell me anything about Apertium anymore, please! I'd be concerned if someone told you that 'Apertium works on Windows', without a list of caveats. -- <Sefam> Are any of the mentors around? <jimregan> yes, they're the ones trolling you ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
