However, good old Git-bash shell will work from the command line. Not really 21st Century, but it will let you do most anything you want. This is not inconsistent with Dave P observations, because I guess his script uses shell commands stuff. I think we might have predicted something like this happening when we could only clone fgdata in the first place by downloading it in 2 sections. That's another fine mess we have gotten ourselves into! Never mind, we'll get it sorted (and perhaps shadows at the same time) :-) Vivian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
