[Bug-tar] tar error

[Mike Dieter]

tar version: 1.15.91

I am using Cygwin (see attachment for facts) on an IBM XP home edition.

I had downloaded a file: Majordomo.tar.gz to C:/download

I 'cd'ed to where I wanted the files to go and did a
tar -ztvf C:/download/Majordomo.tar.gz to look at what was in the tar-file.

I got the error message:

$ tar -ztvf C:/download/Majordomo.tar.gz
C: Unknown Host
tar (child): C\:/download/Majordomo.tar.gz: Cannot open: Input/Output error
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

So I changed it to:
tar -ztvf /cygdrive/c/download/Majordomo.tar.gz
AND IT WORED!

I would HOPE that BOTH would work under  Cygwin...

Thanks
Mike

PS: I sent this previously my mistake before I was done.
