Hello,

I've been using the cywin package for a while but I am new to the list.
I have searched the FAQ and list archives prior to this post.  I am
looking for a clear explanation of how cygwin handles
stdin/stdout/stderr and why this seems incompatible with some non-cygnus
software packages such at NTEmacs.  For example, I've seen multiple
posts about the cygwin telnet not working with NTEmacs m-x telnet
command.  I've seen multiple posts about the "standard input is not a
tty" message when trying to run NTEmacs as emacs -nw from a cygwin
console.  I'm picking on NTEmacs but I've seen other examples as well.

There never seems to be a resolution to these posts but several
experienced posters will reply by saying the console handling is
incompatible or something to that effect.  Can someone explain why there
is an incompatibility?

Thanks
Steven Kilby
