This version is supposed to solve problems with DOS lineendings when using tcsh as login shell. A typical problem are broken or hanging rsync calls with tcsh as (remote) login shell. The problem is that Cygwin's tcsh is using textmode on input so far. This experimental version drops all changes to the underlying mode. Instead, CR's on input are ignored when reading commands. I'd like to ask other tcsh users to try this version. It would be helpful to get some feedback. You can distinguish this version from the stable tcsh by its version string. -3 adds a "Cygwin-CRLF-test-01" string to the capabilites. tcsh-6.15.00-2: $ echo $version tcsh 6.15.00 (Astron) 2007-03-03 (i386-intel-posix) options 8b,nls,dl,al,kan,rh,color,dspm tcsh-6.15.00-3: $ echo $version tcsh 6.15.00 (Astron) 2007-03-03 (i386-intel-posix) options 8b,nls,dl,al,kan,rh,color,dspm,Cygwin-CRLF-test-01 If this change doesn't break too much, I'll send the patch upstream and this change will go into the stable release. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions, then look for 'tcsh' in the 'Shells' category. Since this is an experimental release, you will need to use the 'Exp' radio button. If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: "cygwin at cygwin dot com". I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
