It actually works from cygwin? I've actually never even tried it. (dlplus I mean, I used to use cygwin all the time but not in the last several years). I figured if WSL doesn't work then not even worth trying cygwin.
I will try it and update the readme because this would be great. bkw On Sun, Oct 16, 2022, 5:33 PM Ben Wiley Sittler <bsittl...@gmail.com> wrote: > I regularly use dlplus from a Cygwin command-line shell interface in > Windows too, but I realize that's not everyone's cup of tea > > On Sun, Oct 16, 2022, 14:29 Brian K.
