The following patch corrects this problem: *** fhandler.cc.orig Wed Dec 11 02:39:41 1996 --- fhandler.cc Tue Dec 17 15:22:25 1996 *************** *** 2267,2273 **** return 0; /* seems to be failure */ } /* doc says it will return at least one event... */ ! num_events--; /* check if we're just disposing of this one */ if (input_rec.EventType != KEY_EVENT) --- 2267,2274 ---- return 0; /* seems to be failure */ } /* doc says it will return at least one event... */ ! if(num_events) ! num_events--; /* check if we're just disposing of this one */ if (input_rec.EventType != KEY_EVENT) After applying this patch, Lynx2-5 works fine with cygwin. Thanks. This is the kind of thing I'd *love* to see a lot more of! Keep 'em coming. :-) - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
