nedit on Cygwin
I've used NEdit on Cygwin/X for a couple of years without significant problems. Last night I updated to the latest release (it had probably been a year or more); now when I invoke NEdit (directly or by incanting nc) it starts, and seems to work OK, however I get the error message UTF8 locale not supported. and command line control is not returned to the shell until the NEdit window is killed. I see old messages about NEdit not supporting UTF8, but none of them describe this behavior. Any suggestions? (Note that editor preference is a theological issue, so responses praising whatever editor you happen to worship would not be helpful. As Apu Nahasapeemapetilon once said, Please do not offer my god a peanut.) Cygwin/X 1.13.0, NEdit 5.5 (Nov. 18 build), on Windows 7 Home Premium. Thanks. -- Mark Jackson - http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~mjackson I cannot understand what it means to call a theory beautiful if it is not true. - Niels Bohr -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
