I don't think that's fair, since such apps were designed for the Windows console, without being aware of Cygwin's pipe-based ptys. And unfortunately that list would be very long anyway: basically anything interactive that hasn't been explicitly adapted to Cygwin ptys, for example by disabling buffering and not relying on the console's history facility. Speaking of which: somebody on the mintty mailing list would like to make a Windows program Cygwin-aware by detecting whether it's running in a Cygwin terminal (as opposed to having its input or output redirected to plain pipes). Does anyone know a way to do this? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mintty-discuss/NKXaYjF8jqk Andy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
