After installing Cygwin on a WIN2000 system with an existing MKS installation, the two installations seemed to "lock horns". I was able to establish peace by removing the MKS-related environment variables from the system configuration (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables) and moving them into profile.ksh. Specifically: MKS_TK_PATH_BACK NUTCROOT ROOTDIR SHELL TERM (value had been "nutc") TERMCAP (value had been "E:\MKS\etc\termcap") TERMINFO (value had been "E:\MKS\usr\lib\terminfo") In particular, the TERM* values seemed to be causing of alot of the problems; Cygwin likes TERM=cygwin. I also installed the ATT ksh -- there was a thread about this two or three weeks ago -- but understand that a KSH package for the standard Cygwin setup is on the way. Have also had some small problems porting scripts, one of which being that "egrep" must always be changed to "grep -E".
