If you extract a tar.gz file with an executable file and an excitable file of the same name but with the .exe extension on extract the .exe file is inexplicably deleted.
e.g. tar -xvzf test.tar.gz mydir/myexe.exe mydir/myexe ls myddir myexe rm -rf mydir; tar -xvzf test.tar.gz; mydir/myexe.exe mydir/myexe.exe ls myddir myexe.exe rm -rf mydir; tar -xvzf test.tar.gz; mydir/myexe mydir/myexe ls myddir myexe This happens with:- tar (GNU tar) 1.22 CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 blade14 1.7.0(0.212/5/3) 2009-07-24 09:59 i686 Cygwin -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
