I saw that just the other day--I didn't have the appropriate permissions to a directory on a network share, so bunzip2 couldn't create the new file without the .bz2 extension. The "Permission denied" message is a hint, I think :)
Try copying the file to a local directory that you know you have permissions on--Cygwin's /tmp is a good candidate. Double-check the permissions in Explorer, and make sure you're the owner of the directory. You may also want to double-check that you've run mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd if you're in a domain. - Bradey -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Claude Gervais [mailto:jc.gervais@;videotron.ca] Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 7:56 AM To: Cygwin-XFree Subject: XWinClip Hi, I've followed the posted instructions for downloading and installing XWinClip, but for some odd reason, I get the following error when trying to extract the .EXE: >bunzip2 xwinclip-Test06.exe.bz2 bunzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.

Anyone have a clue as to what the problem is?
