As a result, rxvt uses much less swap space. Therefore, rxvt is intended for X. As you are running it, it does not support the line drawing character sets. --Jeff -- 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/
