Subject: PLEASE help with V1.0 canonical mode problem
From: "James Grishaw" <jgrishaw AT onebox DOT com>

Dear Cygnus,

     I have written several times in regards to the canonical mode
problem with the V1.0 CD.

Problem synopsys: With Cygwin V1.0, if you run the black "bash"
     window with CYGWIN=tty, or if you run xterms from Siddiqi's XFree86
     compile, you can't backspace if you run "cat -" or
     "dc" or "read" (bash built-in) etc etc.

Cygnus has ACKNOWLEDGED this as a problem with V1.0.

I would *REALLY* like to get a patch for this problem as it is REALLY
annoying and it is the *ONLY* reason why I'm not running V1.0 on
all of my PC's.

I notice that if I use a later snapshot version of cygwin1.dll, the problem
disappears.  Is there a snapshot version of cygwin1.dll that Cygnus feels
is pretty stable that I could be using to get around this bug?

Better yet, how about a patched version of cygwin1.dll for V1.0?

Come on, guys, I bought the CD.  Aren't you supposed to offer even a
little
support?

Many thanks,
Sorry for the frustration,

Jim Grishaw
