It supports unicode, displays natively without needing a Xserver, and is (obviously) actively maintained. The only drawback -- relative to cmd -- is that it uses psuedo-ttys for stdio, so some native win32 programs don't work properly within it. But that drawback is shared by rxvt, so you don't lose anything by switching from rxvt to minnty, and you gain a great deal. -- Chuck -- 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
