Hi Joseph, tcsh isn't prepared for using extensions on files. As on UNIX, you have to type in the full name of a binary, to start it. In my environment, I don't use extensions for binaries anymore. They are useless IMHO, because I never use something like cmd. BUT: I have done a patch to tcsh, which allows the usage of the common extensions .exe and .com on binaries. I have uploaded this version with changed README plus diff-file to the ftp.franken.de server. You will find it in a few days at the usual location: ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Vinschen_Corinna/B20 It will be named tcsh-6.08.00.x.tar.gz (`x' for `extension') > Also, in > your compile bindkey isn't supported, that is why we need a .termcap? bindkey _is_ supported! > > Would you mind sending me the .* files? I don't understand the question, what .* files???
