For Windows, the app is compiled with MSVC. However, some of our users (including some people in-house) like to use it from within a Cygwin shell. It works fine in a bash running in a Windows console window, but not when running under rxvt. The problem there is that Microsoft's isatty(0) call is returning false. Does anyone know how to get an app compiled with MSVC to figure out that its running in bash within rxvt?
