Minor diff: /bin/ksh.exe

Just want to point out a slightly difference in behavior of ksh @(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2 between Cygwin 1.5 & 1.7 First, the above is a older version of pdksh that I had to tweek the cygwin sources a l-o-n-g time ago. Under 1.5, the following does work properly: $ cd /c/Doc*/Paul/A

Re: [1.7] Updated: cygwin-1.7.0-56

I forced a REINSTALL of cygwin1.dll and this time it downloaded the correct version. Everything is fine now. Christopher Faylor wrote: On Sun, Aug 02, 2009 at 05:15:33PM -0400, Paul McFerrin wrote: Folks. Try again with updating 1.7-56. When it is downloaded from mirror: mirror.nyi.net

Re: [1.7] Updated: cygwin-1.7.0-56

Folks. Try again with updating 1.7-56. When it is downloaded from mirror: mirror.nyi.net, my 1.7 instance of cygwin will nolonger come up!! Using my 1.5 instance, and the strings command, I check the 1.7.0-56 version of cygwin1.dll and it comes up with: /ext/build/netrel/src/cygwin-1.7.0

Protection mode: an inquiry

Just one question... Is there a good reason why http://cygwin.com/1.7/ and below have their permission set to no access? My memory is not so good these days and I find directory searches are much easier than remembering their full names. Makes me wonder "What are you hiding." -- Problem rep

Re: Selling management on Cygwin

If you are looking for technical reason to make cygwin the default, then give it up. Of a person has spent years on a MS system, they will be reluctant to change. Contrary to a person using a *Unix system will be very glad to use tools that they know. You'll trying to force everyone to use o

How can I get the "lynx" command to display "normal" instead of reverse video

To reduce the total amount to light in my eyes, I use reverse video for everything (fg:white). When I view the cygwin's security html document using "lynx", everything is reversed (fb:black). This happens on both my mintty and rxvt windows. Thus I am unable to use the "man" command to view h

man does not recognise html files

I think it is great for someone to add "html" file support to the man command. As indicated in http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2009-03/msg00300.html , the man command in 1.7 apparently does not work for html files. If this was answered, please excuse me being hospitalized for more than a week

Re: Clearing the Cygwin console

Oh, "cls" is one of those "built-in" commands. Any hints as to where "clear" went? Sorry 'bout not following the threads but after receiving over 400+ post after a hospital stay, I have no choice to delete about all of them. I'm a little s-l-o-w in returning, -Paul Christopher Faylor wrote

I'll watch for it to occur again. Is there anything I can collect for you in this besides a ps(1) showing the process is inactive or should I just forget it for now. Christopher Faylor wrote: On Mon, Mar 09, 2009 at 09:32:36PM +, Andy Koppe wrote: Several times recently, I have execut

minTTY will not interrupt 'locked' process

Andy: Several times recently, I have executed a command on a "file" that was apparently "locked". Any attempts to perform any reads/opens on the file would block. When it happens, the only was out is to terminate minTTY session (no ctl-C or ctl-\ will terminate). Is this a normal situation
