Third-party Cygwin distributions like copssh aren't supported here. /usr/share/terminfo isn't used by the Cygwin DLL, so the DLL version (1.7.2 vs 1.7.5) is irrelevant here. It is used by ncurses though, and the terminfo database format has changed fairly recently. Look for terminfo and ncurses announcements. > Somebody knows: > 1) what is the job of the other directories (41..78) > below /usr/share/terminfo ? They're hexadecimal ASCII codes representing the first character of the terminal type. '63' is ASCII for 'c', as in 'cygwin'. '78' is 'x' as in 'xterm'.
