I'd add a compile time flag which allows different behavior depending on whether you're building for 1.7 or 1.5 (assuming that you don't have one already). Then when there's a new version of 1.7 you can make a new version of mintty. Problem solved there since there is no need to support old versions of 1.7. >>I keep saying that I want to fix this and I recently found some public >>domain code which purports to allow using consoles as "pipes".

I didn't save a link but I have pointed at console2 on sourceforge (the project link seems to be down now) as something which does something similar. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
