FWIW, my older 3.39 version of file, running on Redhat Enterprise Linux, is clearly broken, or perhaps its "magic" file is. It reports both my UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE files as UTF-16LE. So it seems pointless to debate which version of file is more broken than the other. (And, of course, this is not

Couldn't find anything relevant in the archives or the documentation... I have bash scripts that I want to run identically under Cygwin and Linux, which sometimes require the scripts to detect the environment and branch accordingly. There are numerous ways to do Cygwin detection, but I was wond

FWIW, I see the same behavior, but not just Cygwin, but also on a Red Hat Linux installation, so I guess it's more of a bash/ssh issue than one with Cygwin. A workaround that works for me is the following: for host in $(mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 10:01 AM To: cygwin

In my Cygwin X-Windows xterm environment, I'm not seeing the LINES and COLUMNS environment variables getting updated correctly after my window is resized. Furthermore, "echo $COLUMNS" and "printenv COLUMNS" don't agree. (I didn't see relevant articles in the archives.) It seems to start off wor
