Re: [uug] Windows sucks... (was fixing partition table)

[Ryan Bowman]

Actually, the tar I have can pipe it's output to gzip, I think it's the one 
that came with OpenSSH, which has many great linux utils ported to windows 
(native, not cygwin).

Thanks to all, I probably will use tar...

You had me going for a second there. I thought rsync had been ported 
without cygwin. <sigh/>.

And tar:

The Win32 port can only create tar archives, but cannot pipe its output
to other programs such as gzip or compress, and will not create
tar.gz archives.
<sigh again=true/>

Well, I use unix tools like tar and rsync all the time, and they have
all been ported to windows (without cygwin even).  See
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net about your favorite unix tool.
