I realize this is hardly a FOP problem, but opening the gift-wrapping has this newbie stymied. I found the following message and reply in the archive, which describes my problem exactly, but no particular solution is offered. Can someone enlighten me?
Problem: I downloaded the latest FOP binary download (fop-0.20.5rc3a-bin.tar.tar) from the distribution site http://xml.apache.org/fop/download.htm. I dunno what a tar file is, but WinZip seems to think it can handle it, so I gather its a compressed distribution format. Winzip returns the error message "Error reading header after processing 0 entries". Same result with Winzip current 8.5 release and also their beta 9.0. So how does one untar a tar? Is there a preferred tool? Or is the file damaged? David Hill, Camberley Systems, Needham MA Reply by > J.Pietschmann > Sounds like your untar utility is confused.
