Re: Console input in xterm from NT program?


Hi,

first of all, thanks for the answer...

Right. That's what I thought. OTOH, what does tcsetattr on Cygwin do? W32 just 
doesn't have it, so I need to emulate it somehow.

BTW, cmd.exe from an xterm window works! OK, it doesn't do command-line 
editing, but at least it gets input.

TIA,
