[Integrit-users] Windows 2K port?

[Rodney L. <rla...@ve...>]

My first try was not in text format.  Her we go again.

I have done a quick attempt to see if Integrit will work on Win2000
using Cygwin to give me the GNU compiler and POSIX compliance.
Surprisingly the only problem (which is a show stopper) has nothing to
do with Integrit or Cygwin.  The problem is that MS has a "special" file
called "aux" in every directory that does not show up even when you ask
for Hidden and System files.  Just try to create a directory on a Win2K
box named "aux".  Extracting the the files from the tar file fails when
it hits the creation of the directory "aux". I get the message "A file
with the name specified already exists.  Specify a different filename. I
tried this on 3 different machines running win2k.  2 without cygwin
loaded and using WinZip to extract.  The same error occurs.=20

The place I work would not mind me using Integrit if there can be a port
for Win2K (ugh).  We are primarily a Solaris and Windows Shop.

Would it be too hard to rename the "aux" directory to "auxiliary" or
something else?  If not I'll be glad to go through the code and make the
changes to check it out.  It would be interesting to have a GPL
integrity checker that at least partway works on a Win2K environment.
(Oh, I can't believe I am saying this).

I again apologize for the first message not being in 'text' form.
