It's always been possible to run Cygwin programs from cmd.exe and there is no plan to change that. But the default is now to start mintty from cygwin.bat where previously it was cmd.exe. Mintty is much more configurable and generally provides a better user experience than cmd.exe. That's the reason for the change. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
