I'm posting this for a co-worker who recently (yesterday) downloaded the
Windows NT version of GNAT, along with the GZIP and TAR executables to
decompress the GNAT archive. When we try to execute gzip-winnt.exe, a window
pops up and then quickly vanishes. Drag-and drop of the archive onto
gzip-winnt.exe and invoking it from the command line have the same effect.
This is all happening on a Pentium machine running Windows NT 3.5. I've
decompressed and used GNAT on SunOS, but I'm not a PC person so I don't
have any suggestions for him. Any ideas?

I download GNAT and gzip-winnt.exe recently also. No trouble with running
it from the command line after I renamed it to GUNZIP.EXE. I also copied it
to GZIP.EXE since I seem to remember a true with GNU stuff running differently
depending upon what it is called. When I tried to associate ".gz" type files
to run GUNZIP.EXE from FileManager I did get similar behavior to what you
described.
Hope this helps!
