I would like to add that GNU tar that comes with cygwin
distribution has always had the same problem going back
several years. For example,
$ cd /tmp
$ touch foo
$ tar cf foo.tar foo
$ tar tf /cygdrive/c/cygwin/tmp/foo.tar
foo
$ tar tf c:/cygwin/tmp/foo.tar
c: Unknown Host
tar: c\:/cygwin/tmp/foo.tar: Cannot open: I/O error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I searched the FAQ file for "tar", but could not find any
mention of this problem. I've been reading cygwin list for
some time, but have not seen any mention of this issue.
My apologies if this issue has already been discussed.
