Hi, you wrote:

I'd also like shell job control: stty susp ^z
and: stty intr ^c
Is it possible to arbitrarily remap the usual ^c under NT?
Oh, I forgot: stty kill ^u

: What currently happens when we fseek/lseek on a program not opened in

I only seek to EOF, the beginning, or a position returned by ftell()
with no additional offset. This should work on all platforms regardless
of text/binary mode.
