Setting CYGWIN32=notty before starting bash will cause "ls | more.com" to work. Setting CYGWIN32=notty or vice versa after bash starts makes no difference. It was reported that the CYGWIN32 environment variable should be an interactive one. >Apparently you are using Windows 95. There have always been problems >with tty support in Windows 95.

I'm shouting because the frustration level with B19 seems to be high, especially with newbies. And I misunderstood that you meant the UNIX tty support. Sorry.
