I have my CYGWIN32 env var set to "tty" and I still see the output of the win32 apps (with the latest coolview). Also, I have all my mounts set to the default (text!=binary). I almost never see problems with cygwin apps running under tcsh (text!=binary problems that is). -raj ! - 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".
