I am not trying to be belligerent, but have you ever run WinZip on a tar file created on a Unix box and seen it change all CRs on text files to CRLFs? I have, and I think I am running the latest version (8.1 build 4132, if anybody cares). > A de/compression application must be deterministic, it only runs an > algorithm and doesn't look inside the content of any file. Tell that to WinZip. It uses some heuristic to determine what is a text file and what is a binary, and it works differently on text files. This can be changed in the configuration dialog box, but it is on by default. Thanks for trying to help, Pedro. You are correct, Cygwin and WinZIP should be set up correctly to work with Unix files. But I think we are veering off-topic regarding this. I was only trying to help Jeroen, in case he was using a tool that I know for a fact causes problems with Unix tarballs on Windows. -- PJ Cabrera pjcabrera at pobox dot com _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
