DO NOT START BASH FROM A .BAT FILE !!! <<<< ---------- Just discovered 5/5/98
starting bash from a .bat file gives you a faster console,
but it gives you the same lockups you get without
setting CYGWIN32=tty
always start bash directly from a shortcut (not a .pif file)
(or manually by double clicking or using BashHere.Inf)
create your shortcut with just
&Target: g:\bin\bash.exe (change drive as appropriate)
&Start in: g:\Cygnus\home (ditto)
Shortcut &key: Ctrl + F12 (or whatever)
&Run: Maximized
when doing this you must set your env vars in autoexec.bat
or .bashrc
=====================================================
Linux a platform built by, and for users, standing on
the firm legs of reliability, and speed.
Microsoft Windows, a platform without a leg to stand on.
