My last problem is I have to handle files that may contain ^Z characters. Unfortunately, cygwin seems to act like MSDOS and treats this character as an EOF :-( I'm also using some gettext tools and I saw something that seems to me to be wrong in src/intl/loadmsgcat.c : the "read" system call return 0 when he meets some ctrl-Z, but ... as you can see, when nb= 0, you'll get an endless loop :-(( *************************************************************** if (data == (struct mo_file_header *) -1) { off_t to_read; char *read_ptr; data = (struct mo_file_header *) malloc (st.st_size); if (data == NULL) return; to_read = st.st_size; read_ptr = (char *) data; do { long int nb = (long int) read (fd, read_ptr, to_read); if (nb == -1) { close (fd); return; } read_ptr += nb; to_read -= nb; } while (to_read > 0); close (fd); } ******************************************************************** Got any Idea ???
