Re: [Bug-tar] GNU tar.exe opens a console window when run from the script

[Venkatesan]

Hi Sergey,
    Thanks for your quick response. Could you please let me know where can I
download the tar 1.15.1? I searched in this URL
http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/ I got only the source. Where can I download
the tar 1.15.1 binary i.e exe/dll files for windows?
Thanks
Venkatesan
