Well, you could use a different approach as well. awk, sed and perl are other
tools that would be able to do the same kind of operation. I just thought
that tr was available in the cygwin environment.

Well, it is not an error, not in cygwin nor in Mac OS X. curl downloads the

If you use --trace, you'll get to see exactly what data the "boxes" are,
instead of only seeing my guesses.

Then you figure out what to do about them.
