I use /etc/profile to convert MSDOS format environment variables to UNIX format. When I try to use a pipe on the command line, it appears to die when the source command terminates. This pipeline sometimes (not always unfortunately) writes nothing to the screen. env | sort When it doesn't, it normally will after running the following command line. env > /dev/null # or any other file This pipeline normally stops about halfway through the file list: cd /WinNT/system32 ll *.dll | less This pipeline normally stops after displaying no lines. It also gets a complaint (ls: pagefile.sys: Permission denied) to STDERR. cd / ll | less I think these are related to the pipeline problems that surfaced in the 970810 coolview. They were addressed by the 970907 coolview, but appear to still be present. Thanks, Mac :}) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
