strange shell output using tcsh under Cygwin

Under Unix-type platforms, checking on what the PATH variable is set to is pretty easy - I typically use "env" and the displayed value of PATH is easily parsed by eye. Under Cygwin/Windows, one can do the same, but the value of PATH is more likely to be considerably more complicated and harder for

Problem with Fossil version

emacs/unicode/chinese tone indication question

I use Emacs under multiple operating systems, but chiefly nowadays under FreeBSD and Cygwin/Windows. I want to use Chinese tone marks in discussing historical Chinese forms, and by "Chinese tone marks" I *don't* mean the overhead vowel marks that are part of pinyin, but the marks indicated by Unic

Anomaly with ruby gem env under Cygwin

Some time ago (for reasons I cannot remember) I decided to make a clean reinstallation of Cygwin, so as a safety measure I renamed the old installation to cygwin.old. After finally deciding I didn't need cygwin.old any more, I deleted it with: rm -Rf cygwin.old The command took much longer to co

I've got myself into a situation that I can't seem to get out of. It started when I tried to install vfu via setup.exe, but because my cygwin.dll was not quite up to date and I didn't want to reboot, I changed the status of cygwin.dll to "Keep", and then attempted to install vfu (and whatever else
