Sorry.  I'm not sure I could post cygwin list or not.  But I should
try it.

Your answer solved my problems.  Thank you very much.

Do you have a rough estimatation when will it be released?  If it may
take a few months or more, I'll consider to make a new release of my
perl module.

BTW the test script in my distribution fails on one of tests.  It
seems a bug of cygwin readline library.

The return value of rl_get_screen_size is wrong as follows;

The version of Cygwin Readline Library is 4.2-3.

bug.c
------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <readline/readline.h>
main(){
	int	row, col;

	rl_initialize();

	rl_get_screen_size(&row, &col);
	printf("row=%d, col=%d\n", row, col);

	rl_set_screen_size(10, 20);
	rl_get_screen_size(&row, &col);
	printf("row=%d, col=%d\n", row, col);
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(HERBIE) hiroo[281] gcc bug.c -lreadline -ltermcap
(HERBIE) hiroo[284] echo $LINES $COLUMNS
25 80
(HERBIE) hiroo[282] ./a.exe
row=25, col=79
row=10, col=19
------------------------------------------------------------------------

On my Linux environment a.out prints
	row=25, col=80
	row=10, col=20

Best,

Hiroo Hayashi
