This is really inconvenient, of course. I've previously used B20.1 on another machine under Win95 SR2, also with UK keyboard settings, and the pipe symbol worked fine there. With the latest cygwin (11 September?) on a laptop under WinNT Sp4, with UK keyboard, pipe symbol works.

All of these have UK keyboards and have the same three lines in the autoexec.bat file. On all three machines the | character works just fine. Sorry Sagar but the cause of your problem is not the UK keyboard. All of these three machines are running W95b. -- Keith Fielding -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
