This is probably a stupid question, but it seems that there is no /dev/zero equivalent available under windows. I.e. I want to create a file full of null bytes. Under Linux: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo bs=1M count=1 works, but how do I (or can I even) do the same thing under windows with the dd for gnuwin32? I think cygwin emulates things like /dev/zero and /dev/null under that environment, but I don't have cygwin installed in all places and was hoping the gnuwin32 tools could help me out. Thanks. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
