It wasn’t until David mentioned it, but I had to go into my Norton settings and tell the scan to ignore \UWin\ because they kept quarantining components. Ksh behaved quite oddly when commands it needed were no longer there.
I have Win7-64 bit and use uwin quite a lot. Even though I have a complete Linux virtual machine running, I tend to uwin for a lot of things. My only complaint is that there is no perl package for the 64-bit install. Or nroff.

As far as I can tell, anyway. But the last few updates of Win 7 have rendered uwin pretty much unusable anyway. It's why I've switched to Windows PowerShell, to the extent that on my latest (home) W7 system I didn't even bother installing uwin. It makes me sad, but powershell with the right aliases is in fact quite usable. Only a few things in the shell itelf are irritatingly incompatible.

However, I remember a problem years ago that sounded similar and it turned out the be the virus checking software that was disabling uwin. What checker are you running, if any?

Sometimes this behavior appears to be triggered by some other windows application being run just before entering uwin, and today it appeared to be happening when I was editing files with vi, attempting to make a correction, and other times when I may have been typing a little faster. In all cases, uwin dies and when I restore it, just two carriage returns also cause it to die. The only way I can restore at least temporary sanity is by restarting win7. Is this one of win7's many peculiarities? Is there a fix for this continually frustrating problem? Thanks. Michael E.
