BASH startup
Reza,
The terminal emulation model is what it is. There's one for the Cygwin
console window, another for RXVT and yet another for xterm (under
XFree86/Cygwin).
The TERM variable serves to convey the indication of which terminal
emulator is active to software such as Vim, Emacs, programs
Reza,
The TERM variable is most certainly _not_ broken. You're misunderstanding
what it's for. The TERM variable is how programs that must adapt to
different terminal types (emulators or physical hardware) find out how to
properly drive the terminal's display and respond to characters sent by
Michael,
How is the (merely) potential conflict between the output of Danny's
compilation (test.exe) going to lead gcc to produce an Invalid
argument error? Especially when the assembler runs (or would run) before
test.exe gets written? Also note that test is a shell built-in both in
BASH and
what the role of /etc/termcap
is. Or there really is a bug and all I need then is a workaround.
Regards,
Reza

I will note that it is very weird that F1 - F4 in cygwin

Reza,
RXVT has been specially ported for Cygwin and can operate both under
XFree86/Cygwin and stand-alone (without an X server).
If the DISPLAY environment variable is set, RXVT will try to connect to the
server it designates. If there's no DISPLAY environment variable, then RXVT
will create

How, exactly, would one do this? Arbitrarily throw stuff out of a package
until it fit some arbitrary size threshold?
Anyway, there are very few packages that exceed your criteria:
% find -size +10240k
./emacs/emacs-21.2-8-src.tar.bz2
./gcc/gcc-3.2-1-src.tar.bz2
