    I am trying to transfer from a tarred and zipped file (.gz file) from
    a pc (with cygwin) to a solaris machine.

    This is done through issuing the command from within a shell script:

            cat file.gz | rsh remotehost "cat - > file.gz"

    The problem I am having is that the transfer does not complete and the
    file is partially transferred (in effect truncated).

    This transfer used to work out fine in the past and it is just
    recently that I am having this truncation and incomplete transfer
    problem.

    Any ideas as to what to check is appreciated. Also is there a known
    problem with "cat" and "rsh"
    working together?

    Thanks.

    Martin
