Well, maybe you can ask for latest released stable version: 4.7.0.5 [1] to be included in cygwin, mc being a bit old by now... mc.README file will give you more information. I have using source compiled 4.7.0.4 for a while now without noticeable problems. $ mc -V GNU Midnight Commander 4.7.0.4 Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish, mcfs With builtin Editor Using the ncurses library With subshell support as default With support for background operations With mouse support on xterm With support for X11 events With internationalization support With multiple codepages support Data types: char 8 int 32 long 32 void * 32 off_t 64 ecs_char 16 Regards.
