Thanks Hello Yves, you wrote: >When I try to run a program that runs ok under windows, I following message: >TERM=dumb unknown > >example: >bash-2.01$ /archiv~1/elvis/elvis >TERM=dumb unknown Is there an /etc/termcap? What does your TERM environment variable look like? Is it set? Anyway you should set TERM=linux and copy the supplied termcap to /etc or mount the directory containing termcap on /etc. -- bye, Michael - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
