I was surprised by what I saw, and jumped to the conclusion it was a corrupted file. >If the former, it is indeed because your tar utility is failing you. >Cygwin's tar copes with these just fine. OK then. What I was doing was looking at a explorer-like view of the tar contents, and manually trying to extract each of the files listed to the proper folders. All the rest seemed obvious enough, but these caught me off guard. So should these programs be copies of the m68k-palmos-??.exe files from usr/bin, but renamed to the just ??.exe in usr\m68k-palmos\bin folder? What was not working for me was the command line level extraction, so I was using an explorer view and drag-and-drop. TIA (and sorry for the tar newbie questions...), DUHg -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
