Re: Question about Running GNU Utilities on Windows XP

[Yu Wang <xianbird_cygwin at yahoo dot com>]

Hi Larry,

Thank you so much for kind reply. I ran the tail.exe
directly from \cygwin\bin directory and got the
problem, I thought I was using correct tail.exe, any
thought? And more, have you ever run tail.exe
successfully on XP?

Thanks,

Yu
