Yes. That would help alleviate my concerns about dropping this into Cygwin itself. If we don't see strange problems after a few months of use, I might be persuaded to change my mind. However, to repeat myself, I really think that the method that the Console program uses is the most foolproof way to get real ttys in Cygwin so I'd much rather implement something along those lines. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
