(I sent this previously, but it seems to have been lost).

I'm having trouble getting the coolview tty code to work. If
I run bash, ps returns -1 for the tty. Then I do "CYGWIN_TTY=1"
and "export CYGWIN_TTY". ps still returns -1 for the tty.

After the export, if I now use "less", keystrokes are not handled 
properly. There's no way to exit or use the program. If I run bash 
again, it exits immediately, like so:

/home/bcboy> bash
/home/bcboy> exit
/home/bcboy> 

(I didn't type "exit" on the 2nd line).

This is all with Win95.

Anyone know what's wrong? Is there anything else to set up besides
installing the coolview binaries and setting CYGWIN_TTY to 1? Do
there need to be /dev/tty files, or anything? mknod doesn't seem
to do anything (returns "not finished yet").

b.c.
