Hey Bob....... Here is what I got back from the CYGWIN folks.......

The Cygwin site does not support this version of dd. I'm not sure who should be supporting it but it's not Cygwin and it's not fileutils folks. Looking at the zip file you downloaded, it's not even clear that this is a GNU version. You need to find the maintainer of this software and ask them about the problem. If you need a working version of dd on NT/W2K/XP, you can install Cygwin's. I'm afraid that's the only advice this list can give you.

Hmm... That does seem like it should work. Try the Cygwin folks at the following locations. Bob http://cygwin.com/ Cygwin Home Page http://cygwin.com/faq/ Cygwin FAQ.
