Hi,
We are running into a problem using the GNU utilities,
(specifically TAIL.EXE) on Windows XP when we run them
against names that are not in the 8.3 format.
For example:
The command: tail paratestdatalog.out
produces a 'No file or directory' error
The command: tail paratestdatalog.gold
produces a 'No file or directory' error
The command: tail parate~1.gold
produces a 'No file or directory' error
The command: tail parate~1.out
works
Is there is an update or do we need to recompile or
something?
Thanks,
Yu Wang
