RE: XWinClip

I saw that just the other day--I didn't have the appropriate permissions to
a directory on a network share, so bunzip2 couldn't create the new file
without the .bz2 extension. The "Permission denied" message is a hint, I
think :)

Try copying the file to a local directory that you know you have permissions
on--Cygwin's /tmp is a good candidate. Double-check the permissions in
Explorer, and make sure you're the owner of the directory. You may also want
to double-check that you've run mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd if you're in a
domain.

Hi,

            I've followed the posted instructions for downloading and
installing XWinClip, but for some odd reason, I get the following error when
trying to extract the .EXE:


>bunzip2 xwinclip-Test06.exe.bz2

bunzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out.  Possible reason follows.
bunzip2: Permission denied
        Input file = xwinclip-Test06.exe.bz2, output file =
xwinclip-Test06.exe
bunzip2: Deleting output file xwinclip-Test06.exe, if it exists.

I've also tried this on a totally different computer and gotten the same
result.
Anyone have a clue as to what the problem is?
