This could cause crashes and core dumps. I tried all combinations of [no]binmode [no]tty on Chris' cygwinb19.dll Nothing helped! Sigh. rcs -i always fails in the presence of an RCS/ directory, leaving two empty lock files. It works though when no RCS/ directory is arround. So this must be a very subtle directory/file handling bug. Chris' cygwinb19.dll solved at least the problems with MikTeX and cygwin. ( MikTeX was looping infinitely on ordinary TeX errors...) Will Chris' patches eventually show up in Sergey's coolview? What are the plans with those two versions?
