I haven't looked in to these recently, but my memory is that I struck a problem with wget on Windows when I was working on web/gethttp to do with stdout/stderr - will search the forums later.
The following will hopefully help inform any discussion. Below is a summary for each of the tools of: the currently J-shipped version; the latest released version and the changelog. Current versions shipped with J are: wget.exe: 1.10.2 vs 1.13.4 http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/wget/trunk/annotate/2563/NEWS jpcre.dll: Not sure but probably 6.6 or 6.7 vs 8.32 http://www.pcre.org/changelog.txt unzip.exe: 5.52 http://www.info-zip.org/UnZip.html zip.exe: 2.32 http://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 8:57 AM, Raul Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 3:27 PM, Ric Sherlock <[email protected]> wrote: >> The binaries for ftp, regex & zip/unzip that are currently shipped with J >> are getting rather long in the tooth (2005/6).
