Which tool (radamsa, blab, ...)? Radamsa

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Ran radamsa with -o option

Expected result: Radamsa outputs test cases to specified directory. 
What happened: Instead, radamsa gives error Warning: cannot write to '[dir]'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I was using 0.3 precompiled binary for Windows that is downloadable from this

I'll try to find something with Windows 8 to test with. 

In the meantime, could you check if http://haltp.org/aoh/misc/radamsa.exe works 
when you also get http://haltp.org/aoh/misc/cygwin1.dll to the same directory?

My bad, I got both working now. I had understood the synopsis of -o option 
wrongly. I thought I need to give just the output directory, but reading from 
examples on wiki I became apparent that synopsis for -o requires also the 
output file or template with  %n if running with -n option.

Thanks for the bug anyway - it's good to know what confuses new users. I 
changed the synopsis to '-o | --output <arg>, file name pattern for outputs, 
e.g. output/fuzz-%n.foo [-]' to be more precise.
