I recently (11-Nov-2009) posted to the uwin-developers email list the following:

   I've been playing with the last few UWIN betas (including the
   version recently released 11/2/2009) and have found that 'ksh' is
   sometimes, unexpectedly changing the foreground font color to
   black.  Since the background color is also black, this makes it
   impossible to see text in the 'ksh' console window.  Has anyone else
experienced this? I haven't yet isolated a reproducible test case. I've seen this on Windows 2003 64-bit and, I think, Windows 2003
   32-bit.  When this happens, the foreground text color can be
   manually reset via the console properties.

Several others replied that they have experienced this problem, but there was no response from current UWIN developers. Has this issue been addressed in the 04-Dec-2009 beta? If not, I would humbly advise holding off on the release until this issue is isolated and corrected. For me, this issue makes UWIN essentially unusable for running an interactive 'ksh' shell (which is one of my primary requirements for a product such as UWIN). Is this issue not experienced by (most) UWIN developers?

Tom.
