I did something in my .profile on the bash side which corrupted the be-jeezus out of everything so I reloaded from the various sites. I have been so busy that I forgot where a lot of the stuff cached away. Plus I need some other stuff answered. 1) Where is a coolview web site in the US ?? 2) Which patches, dll's do I need to get xterms running correctly ?? 3) Has xterm and vi been fixed so I can get better width, my perl OO programs sometimes drift sideways. If so, where is that stuff. 4) My crashes have happened while doing redirection specifically from the console where I type: cat > file1 and then hit the inject buttons on the mouse ( my word for paste ) and then I zillions of MS type exceptions. 5) My final crash, I think came about as a syntax error in bash, and I can recreate it if anybody needs me to. Other questions on the NT side, I rather ask you guys as my sort-of support group, its tough on a unix guy ;^) 1) How do I get apache to start up on reboot ?? 2) How do I get xterm shortcut icons to work. Ok, thanks a million in advance, I really gotta get my proof of concept going here so I can get a real unix box from management. John van V. As a future disclaimer: If I ever fly off the handle, ignore me. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
