References: <200009290434 DOT AAA19501 AT www DOT zendragon DOT com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Friar -- Since cvs and ssh are both cygwin apps, you *may* get better results using a unixy path for the HOME variable; that is, assuming c:\cygwin is mounted as '/', try setting HOME=/home/friar. I'm shooting in the dark here, but I seem to recall some console-IO/tty issues; do you get better performance running cvs under a bash shell rather than cmd.exe ? Finally, check out the documentation in /usr/doc/Cygwin/cvs-xx.README and /usr/doc/cvs-xx-x/*. I listed several known bugs there -- some are due to cygwin1.dll bugs and cannot be resolved until 1.1.5 (and don't pester the core team about 1.1.5 -- like good coffee, it's ready when it's ready). --Chuck --friar wrote: > > I am a COMPLETE newbie to cygwin.
