Can't Un-tar the Windows Archive

Post by visitor »

I have downloaded the Windows binaries for the Bader program, but I cannot get WinZip to un-tar them. It complains about the file header being corrupt. This behavior is repeatable on two different machines with different file downloads. I have the latest version of WinZip, and it should be able to handle standard tar formats.

Is there another utility on Windows that will successfully un-tar this file?

Alternatively, I could port the file to a UNIX box, un-tar it there, and then port the results back to windows.

Thanks for the post. The bader_win.tar.gz file works with the unix style cygwin utilities on windows. We've added a bader.zip file which works with the standard winzip untilities on windows, and marked the old file as specifically for cygwin users.
