Dear Eliot,
Thanks for getting back so quickly.Program1 is a windows routine, xgraph.  http://www.xgraph.org/ms/index.htmlThis is a general purpose plotting program which writes out text whenever an operation is performed in its graphic window.
That text output is piped into Program2, a home-grown tcsh script.Program2 reads the xgraph text output one line at a time and uses it to update the display list files which xgraph is polling to keep its graphic window up to date.
Here is the test harness I'm executing inside a cygwin window. For test purposes, Program2 is cat.   stdbuf -oL -eL xgraph | cat -A
Here's a typical output which is only seen once I've terminated xgraph by clicking the appropriate button in the graphic window. The only think I did while xgraph was running was click at one location in the graphics window; that's what generated the line: Clicked at (x,y) = (-0.62324, 0.255608)
XGraph v4.38^M$Window (800 x 594)^M$0 points read.^M$^M$Error:  No dimensional data was read.  Cannot determine axes ranges.^M$^M$   Clicked at (x,y) = (-0.62324, 0.255608)^M$Exiting XGraph.^M$
I tried 0 (zero) instead of L in the stdbuf switches just because.I also tried using stdbuf -i0 Program2in case that might make a difference.
I can easily eliminate the <cr>:  stdbuf -oL -eL xgraph | tr -d "\015" | cat -AThis produces the same output but with the ^M 's removed.I don't know how to alter the windows line endings but would like to.
Thanks again and for any further thoughts.
Best - Don

Some thoughts to consider:

- -i0 means unbuffered; did you write the wrong description above?
- As noted in the strbuf man page, some programs don't use streams and thus are
  not affected by strbuf settings.  I agree this is not something likely to
  change for the same program ported from Linux to Cygwin.
- How do you have line endings set up on Cygwin or in any files you are
  processing?  The usual Windows line ending  being CR-LF instead of Linux's
  LF can confuse some programs.

It might also help potential responders to know a little more about what program1 and
program2 are.  Are they Windows or Cygwin programs?

Regards - EM
