Windows 95 & Windows NT users: | |
1. There's a pre-built executable, bzip2.exe, which | |
should work. You don't need to compile anything. | |
You can run the `test.bat' batch file to check | |
the executable is working ok, if you want. | |
2. The control-C signal catcher seems pretty dodgy | |
under Windows, at least for the executable supplied. | |
When it catches a control-C, bzip2 tries to delete | |
its output file, so you don't get left with a half- | |
baked file. But this sometimes seems to fail | |
under Windows. Caveat Emptor! I think I am doing | |
something not-quite-right in the signal catching. | |
Windows-&-C gurus got any suggestions? | |
Control-C handling all seems to work fine under Unix. | |
