I had been using lines like: #!/bintcsh -f xterm -j -sb -bg white -fg darkblue -cr green -ms magenta -bd red -geometry 80x84-0+0 -name right >>& /tmp/log.xwin & With cygwin1-20051117.dll I was now also getting additional DOS windows. I found that by using xterm -j -sb -bg white -fg darkblue -cr green -ms magenta -bd red -geometry 80x84-0+0 -name right & the DOS windows no longer pop up. I also isolated the popen() problem somewhat. Those popen()'s used for file I/O still seem fine when using `gcc -mno-cygwin`, but the popen()'s that fail are like: sprintf (utc_comm, "%s", "date -u +%Y%m%d"); if ((ptr_comm = popen (utc_comm, "r")) == NULL) { // ... } pclose (ptr_comm); I guess the use of `date` is like trying to write to STDOUT which presents some problems when using `gcc -mno-cygwin`. Thanks.
