Hi, I use RXVT because it makes Cygwin accessible to me. Its color and font support gives me a console window I can *see*, as opposed to the native Windows console that BASH runs in by default, which I cannot see. Part of my strategy to increase visibility is to specify a bold font for -fn/font: a

2007-12-06 Thread Brian Mathis
I'm curious what the plans or status is of compatibility efforts between cygwin (32bit) and 64bit Windows (Vista). In particular, I'm interested in getting 'chere' working on 64bit Vista. I notice chere uses 'regtool', which in turn is a 32bit application. Because it's 32bit, when it tries to ac

Problems with PostgreSQL 8

Hello! Before someone tells me to use Linux or a NT based win to run a native Postgres, I must say that I have no choice regarding the use of Postgres on old Win98 machines - this is a huge project that involves some schools that still have this OS and will take a little longer for them to switch

AVG: "Agent.LCA" false positives this morning.

Morning all AVG users out there, There seems to be a false positive in last night's AVG update (pro version, haven't tested the free one yet). It reports Cygwin's tail.exe as being infected with "Trojan horse Agent.LCA". This is happening to us with coreutils-6.7-2. The md5sum of that
