Hi, Imho, EACCESS is indeed a bit misleading because it suggests permission problems. Better would be to have an EFAIL as a generic error. Actually i was missing an EFAIL several times when my programs needed to return an error code that did not match well with what i found in errno.h . On Sun,

Hi Bjørndal, have you tried mintty? i don't know if BRLTTY is compatible with it, but if so, it's a much much better alternative to the DOS box. You can freely change the window size, and it has no limit on the font sizes. To start mintty, Cygwin setup creates a shortcut on the desktop. But y
