Uh oh, you got me there. It shouldn't be ovberly complicated to tweak the untar code in setup to do the same special char conversion as Cygwin does, but, as usual, somebody has to do it. Maybe I'll look into that myself when I'm back in a couple of days. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
