From: ianc AT kiwiplan DOT co DOT nz (Ian Collins) Subject: CYGWIN variable and NT emacs 20.3 (or even vim) 13 Dec 1998 18:39:15 -0800 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" To: "Gnu-Win32 (E-mail)" I have set the CYGWIN variable to tty (in control panel) and rebooted. I open a bash session in a console (tty is /dev/conin), and run the command emacs -nw I get the error: "emacs: standard input is not a tty". So I set the CYGWIN variable in control panel to notty and rebooted. I open a bash console session (/dev/conin), and then emacs -nw works (emacs runs in the console window). I now telnet to the Cygnus NT server and login (/dev/tty0), and rerun "emacs -nw" I get the error: "emacs: standard input is not a tty". Isn't the CYGWIN action for tty the wrong way round?? Why doesn't it work from a pseudo tty?? - 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".
