I wouldn't mind making MinTTY a regular cygwin package. It sounds like it would get enough votes. In fact, if it operates like an xterm on Windows maybe it should even be the default program that is invoked by cygwin.bat. I think that would alleviate a lot of confusion. Puttycyg is a different story. I don't really feel comfortable having another ssh implementation in Cygwin. The call is obviously Corinna's in this case but that's my 2c. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
