Re: Changing colours of XTerm

I opened it with vi and it had ^M appended to each line, so I removed each one and sent the file back to my PC where it worked without errors with Cygwin. you can handle it in vim too. Open the file :e filename change format :set fileformat=unix write changes :w I ran dos2unix on the file on my UNIX account but it seemed to make no difference. dos2unix does not seem to be in my Cygwin installation and I couldn't find it using the download utility, setup.exe. it is in package cygutils http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=cygutils%2Fcygutils-1.2.8-1grep=dos2unix Also, should the -g geometry command work with Cygwin? I tried opening an xterm with -g and something like 600x500 and it restarted my Win98 PC. Get a decent OS. xterm uses characters instead of pixels for geometry settings. So you requested a window of size 4800x4000 which was way to much for Win98 to handle. Another thing: When I single click with left or right mouse button on an XTerm window Cygwin freezes and has to be Ctrl+Alt+Delled. I can click and drag text to copy it and all, but when I single click the window to remove the highlighting Cygwin will freeze. This happens consistently. Does this happen too without the -clipboard parameter for XWin? bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
