I've build your test application and ran it under tcsh 6.13.00 and I had no problem with it: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 cathi 1.5.10(0.116/4/2) 2004-05-25 22:07 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin $ echo $version tcsh 6.13.00 (Astron) 2004-05-19 (i386-intel-posix) options 8b,nls,dl,al,kan,rh,color,dspm $ g77 -o fortopen fortopen.f $ ls -l total 82 -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna root 17151 Jul 12 22:10 cygcheck.out -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna root 515 Jul 12 22:13 echoout.6.12 -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna root 746 Jul 12 22:15 echoout.6.13 -rwxr-xr-x 1 corinna root 363 Jul 8 23:10 echotest -rwxr-xr-x 1 corinna root 60868 Jul 12 23:08 fortopen.exe -rwxr-xr-x 1 corinna root 372 Jul 8 22:56 fortopen.f -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna root 12 Jul 12 23:12 tempfile $ ./echotest Trying with echo pipe to cat 0000000 061 040 060 040 060 040 061 040 060 040 060 012 0000014 -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna root 12 Jul 12 23:26 tempfile File Opened OK Trying with /bin/echo 0000000 061 040 060 040 060 040 061 040 060 040 060 012 0000014 -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna root 12 Jul 12 23:26 tempfile File Opened OK Trying with built-in echo 0000000 061 040 060 040 060 040 061 040 060 040 060 012 0000014 -rw-r--r-- 1 corinna root 12 Jul 12 23:26 tempfile File Opened OK $ Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Co-Project Leader mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Red Hat, Inc. -- 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/
