Re: winzip and tar.gz files unpacking into 2 directories instead of 1??

Ah, k thanx. Wasn't affecting me as winrar doesn't seem to suffer, only
winzip.
I'll let Guenter know.

This will be the result of every program that is not able to handle the

prefix extension of POSIX.1 format TAR. The .../bindings/java path
contains file names that exceed 100 characters and thus need the prefix

extension.

If only the uni*es had all the new GNU tar implementation, then it
would
be feasible to release in that format.

Apache ANT handles only GNU tar format too.

My approach: install cygwin.
