Hi all,
I have been using Cygwin on this Windows XP machine for about a year without
a problem. Specifically, I've been using GNU Pascal to compile my Pascal
source. Since I hadn't updated Cygwin in a while, I did so, and now I
receive the following error when I try to compile anything with GP

Hi,
Since the FHS mandates that man pages go into /usr/share/man, shouldn't it
precede /usr/man in the MANPATH? I ran into this issue because I had kept
a backup copy of the old rxvt man page (the one with YODLTAGSTART, etc),

And again,
Is it likely that stat on a text file in cygwin would return
a .st_size large than the file size as used by cygwin
that is HIGHER than the physical number of characters once
the file is process character by character?

Hi everybody. I have a very specific problem and I'm looking for someone
giving me a solution.
When I set the TZ environment varialbe TZ to "UTC" and try to execute "date"
I get the right date in UTC format:

Sure. Don't use text mode. Open the file in binary mode (O_BINARY with
open(), "b" with fopen()), or call setmode(fd, O_BINARY) once open, or

Here 'try' starts out as a regular automatic variable, with all of its
fields set to arbitrary (un
The binary size is accurate, text, by its nature may never be correct on
any operating system, since it is buffered, parsed, etc by the OS in an OS

If you use a binary mode then you will be fine.

Hi Brian, thanks a lot for your answer. In fact it works initializing the

As you said, I was lucky that until now I never found the problem.
Remain the question why setting the TZ variable make this problem coming

By the way, thanks a lot for the support !!!

Thanks folks -- the confirmation that I was on the right
path was a big help.
The suggestions to "do it right" were well intentioned
but impractical since I didn't want to take over support
