Hello,
I'm gnu-tarring files with tar version 1.13.25
on solaris, then untarring with the same version
on cygwin. The files are dated 2002-12-31 18:09:xx
in the tgz on solaris. When I sftp them to cygwin,
the tar programs shows the files to be dated
2003-01-01 03:09.xx. But typing "date" at the
cygwin prompt shows the computer clock to be right
i.e. Tue Dec. 31 2002.
Cygcheck gives:
cygutils 1.1.3-1
cygwin 1.3.17-1
I'm using Win2K with SP3.
Thanks for any pointers.
