Is this the reason? If so, do you know why POSIX requires this? At some
point POSIX compliance ceased to be a goal of the Cygwin project, so I don't
see that as an argument either way.

We thought of that several years ago. Problem is, there is no "backend" -
we inherited a codebase with a tightly interwoven GUI and business logic.
Since then, the GUI has been improved dramatically, innumerable defects have
been fixed, several features have been added, and some work has gone into
separating the business logic.

We thought of that several years ago. Problem is, there is no "backend" -
we inherited a codebase with a tightly interwoven GUI and business logic.
Since then, the GUI has been improved dramatically, innumerable defects have
been fixed, several features have been added, and some work has gone into
separating the business logic.

I'm attempting to install Cygwin on a (rather wimpy - slow CPU & not much disk
space) PC, and I keep running into a problem:
In short, somebody installed it on this machine earlier, and didn't do that
installation quite right. So, I decided to delete everything on the disk I
could find relatin

As I thought, it was a terminal issue.
instead of
set mail_editor_command "mutt -H '%s'"
using
mail_editor_command "export TERM=vt220

Oh, you don't! I want to use it because it has all the features that I need
when writing mails - saving mails in appropriate mailbox, being able to add
attachments, use of my address book, and so on.

When I use slrn try to reply to a posting by email the entire window simply
goes black. My mail_editor_command is "mutt -H '%s'", and I am using rxvt
(in Cygwin). I know that mutt starts, and if I kill that process I get my
slrn back again, though when I then quit slrn the terminal no longer echoes
them due to static linking.
No, it doesn't. The .lib you linked to is a stub. It doesn't contain any
part of the DLL code, regardless of how much of the library you use. IIUC,
the .lib under discussion isn't even of Microsoft origin; it's generated by
a Cygwin or Mingw prog

The DLL isn't being redistributed, so? I don't follow.

yesterday).

Not for much longer, if a certain googly-eyed letter of the alphabet has

Well, any LF/CRLF religious debate perhaps belongs there. But religious
issues aside, the change you're proposing is a major change to long-standing
Cygwin functionality that would affect a large
