I too have very late stuff installed, and I do run thevery same installation on both Win2K (more) and Win98SE (less now). I have no problems like yours when running vi (i.e. vim, as vi is a link to vim). There is other minor nuicances though... _Win2000_ :!ls -l Doesn't handle LF's as it should. e.g, ls output is: file1 file2 file3 file4 ... _Win98SE_ :!ls -l E91: 'shell' option is empty Hit ENTER or type command to continue Hmm... Is that $SHELL ? I have a script, running from .profile, that examines the contents of $SHELL and removes all of it if there is 'command.com' (DOS thing) in there (leaving it there will cause startx to fail - Win98 specific problem). /Hannu E K Nevalainen, 59~14'N, 17~12'E ~ <=> degree -- --END OF MESSAGE-- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
