All-- I've downloaded the latest build of RXVT, and it just took a quantum leap in usability. With the new noconsole build, I have a shortcut in my start bar pointing to: D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -rv -sl 20000 -fn courier -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i Loads *fast*--at least a few times faster than the old batfile hack. It's ridiculously beautiful. Problems: 1) rxvt doesn't have mouse support yet 2) TERM=cygwin vs. TERM=xterm-color 3) If you load cmd.exe through it, doskey doesn't work and *nothing* executes inline. I'd like the ability to specify what should and shouldn't pop up a new window. I'd *really* like to see RXVT become part of the standard distribution now. Is there anything I can do to help this happen? Yours Truly, Dan Kaminsky, CISSP Cisco Systems, Inc. http://www.doxpara.com P.S. The first thing everyone seems to do when installing cygwin is create drive mounts in the root directory in binary mode, i.e. mount -b c: /c mount -b d: /d Could this be made a default state, or at least something in the installer? People should know that symlinks work too.
