Hi,
In Cygwin (version 2.125.2.10) I've tried to $ gunzip bjam.exe
but get gunzip: bjam.exe.gz: not in gzip format
(downloaded http://boost.sourceforge.net/jam-executables/bin.cygwinx86/bjam.exe.gz which was 143,050 bytes in size (x3 tries) )
My WinZip (V8.1) can't read it either. In fact I can't seem to read several of the .gz files that can be downloaded (but I did manage the Windows .zip version).
Can anybody give me a clue as to what is wrong ?

143,050 bytes is the size of the _unzipped_ bjam.exe. The gzipped file is 55693 bytes. If I recall correctly, there are combinations of browers/applications/settings etc. that will gunzip automatically, and it looks like that is what is happening. Hope this helps, Regards, Stephen Jackson stephen.jackson@scribitur.com
