Some environment settings need to be done before the first Cygwin process starts, e.g. CYGWIN settings like 'ntsec tty binmode notitle ...'. 'ntsec' is on by default now but you still may also use others. You don't need to set them globally in the Windows environment if you set them in the batch file. There may be some more reasons why there is this batch file? Maybe there were no patches to change this?
there's also a registry-entry where you can set the "default" values [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\Program Options] "default"="ntsec tty codepage:oem" Chris was so kind to tell me about it ;-) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
