Working on inetutils-1.3 telnetd... Nice work, Sergey .. I particularly like the rxvt! The principle of CYGWIN_NOTTY seem a good idea. Although of course it is possible to re-port back to gnu-win32 all those old unix apps (less, ncftp, micro emacs, emacs -nw, beav, elvis) it would be a shame to lose the ability to launch their existing native console-direct implementations from the same command window. Unless I'm doing something wrong though, CYGWIN_NOTTY is not doing quite the thing I would expect (at least on NT4). Setting it before launching bash is fine - I get a cygwin environment that allows console direct but not pseudo-tty. Setting it within bash, however, does not switch to allow launching of console direct apps; in fact, even things like ls no longer produce output!! Have you also made some changes to the reporting and use of ownership? Ls -l now reports usernames rather than numerical IDs. There is, for example, some impact (which I don't yet understand) on the operation of the command line in mc-4.0 which works fine (with a # prompt) using your cygwin.dll from 06 Jul but only works under an Administrator account using the 10 Jul dll. From a User account it gives (correctly) a $ prompt but (incorrectly) will launch nothing from it ... just like with the unpatched B18 cygwin.dll. Anyway, it's all very exciting. -- Dr David Coe \=\ 58 Fairlawn Drive, East Grinstead \=\ Tel +44 1342 326860 West Sussex, RH19 1NT, United Kingdom \=\ Fax +44 1342 316019 - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
