This has some unexpected results for me. Starting up a shell (DOS console, notty) everything behaves as before. After running "stty sane", the backspace key now starts printing ^? symbols instead of backspacing. Did I miss an update to my ~/.inputrc because I have customised contents in it? (I am using a home brew DLL from 2009-06-05, which by my reading of the ChangeLog should have all the related modifications in it. I'll upgrade to real -49 later but I'm in the middle of gcj testruns that I don't want to perturb.) > - Q: How do I know that I'm running Cygwin 1.7.0-49? > > A: The `uname -v' command prints "2009-06-08 22:13" Would "cygcheck -c cygwin" also be worth a mention? cheers, DaveK -- 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/
