Unfortunatly, after you do this you will have to reinstall from = scratch, but once you do bash history works properly, (after deleting or = converting the .bash_history file) ncurses compiles out of the box = (dosen't quite work right because of some missing capabilities, but I'm = working on it), same with most GNU tools that have a configure script. Try it, after the initial pain, it's a BIG win. Thanks for the input! I actually tried changing the mounting of C: to binary, but didn't know it would require a "reinstall from scratch", which is probably why the results were so discouraging. One question remains, however--does mounting "C:" in binary mode break non-GNU-Win32 programs? In particular, I use NTemacs which seems to insist on handling files in text mode. Did I miss something that avoids the problem?
