Subject: Re:  fastjar error: "Error in JAR file format. zip-style comment?"

i have been experimenting a little more with this. these work:

  jar xvf mail.jar
  jar -xvf mail.jar

these don't:

  jar tvf mail.jar
  jar -tvf mail.jar

but these all do:

  jar tv <mail.jar
  jar -tv <mail.jar
  cat mail.jar | jar t

i am currently using fastjar 0.92-gcc from gcc-3.3.1 on
powerpc-apple-darwin6.6.

i can also reproduce the problem using fastjar 0.92-gcc from gcc-3.3.2
20030812 (Debian prerelease) on powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu, with exactly
the same failure pattern.

in all failure cases (darwin or linux) i have the same message.
