Anyone else notice this? This isn't just ftp, it's every NT console app I've tried that has user input. Even VIM 'complains' about input not coming from a terminal. I compiled a simple test program with MicroSoft VC 5.0 that just did a few gets() and puts() calls. The program never pauses for user input! This looks like a fairly serious problem. --- Bruce Hunsaker -- bruceh AT ieighty DOT net - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
