Microsoft is forcing me to abandon Windows because my perfectly functional laptop isn't W11-compatible. As a result, I have literally decades worth of scripts written for Cygwin that I need to edit to be made compatible with Linux. I'd prefer not to lose Cygwin compatibility, if possible, as I may be forced by some unknown evil entity to move back to Windows some day.
The most common issue I'm going to face is what to do about /dev/dsp. I like things to make noise so that I know what's going on without looking so many of my scripts use /dev/dsp. I'm also going to have to deal with the various cyg... utilities that I use, but that is likely a much harder issue to deal with and, fortunately, less common in my scripts. So... recommendations, please? Thanks... and thanks for the many, many years of not having to write scripts in Windows BAT format! -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
