Apparently stdbuf works by interposing stuff, via a loader PRELOAD technique, before main in the program being run. I suspect this simply does not work when applied to Windows programs, though I cannot say for sure. What about this: xgraph ... | strbuf -oL -eL tr -d '\015' | ... That is, apply strbuf to tr, which is a Cygwin program. You could even apply it to cat. Alternatively, if the xgraph of which you speak is this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsnam/files/xgraph/xgraph-12.1/ you might be able to re-build it under Cygwin, though doing so sometimes requires some adjustments to a program or its build process (though a number of programs build out-of-the-box pretty well). Clearly this is hardr than trying the suggestion above :-) ...
