RE: Console anyone ?

[Richard Campbell <richard dot campbell at air2web dot com>]

W2K/SP2, xfree86 4.2.0-37 (Test 86), CYGWIN="".

I see the same behavior Igor talks about with "net help" and 
"net use".

Interestingly, "cygcheck -s" also pops up a console...and crashes
when run from an xterm, just before it would start the "id.exe output
(nontsec)"
output.

Hi Igor,

I can't reproduce that here, both commands just produce text in a
local xterm, no console is popping up.  I'm running W2K/SP3, recent
XFree86, "CYGWIN=binmode nontsec".
