Say, you use cygwin to do text processing (I do, with the help of a bleeding edge groff), and in a whim you decide to write poetry to your girlfirend. Being a German speaker, you type, e.g., "Lieder_für_meine_geliebte.tr". Did you or did you not need to type high-bit charecters in your shell? (Don't say you type them from within your editor, that's cheating). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
