Question about Running GNU Utilities on Windows XP

[Yu Wang]

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
