Re: P.S. cygheap base mismatch

[Lester Ingber <ingber at ingber dot com>]

I have use tcsh scripts run from a Cygwin window to start X-windows.  I had
been using lines like:
#!/bintcsh -f
xterm -j -sb -bg white -fg darkblue -cr green -ms magenta -bd red -geometry 80x84-0+0 -name right >>& /tmp/log.xwin &
With cygwin1-20051117.dll I was now also getting additional DOS windows.

I found that by using
xterm -j -sb -bg white -fg darkblue -cr green -ms magenta -bd red -geometry 80x84-0+0 -name right &
the DOS windows no longer pop up.

I also isolated the popen() problem somewhat.  Those popen()'s used
for file I/O still seem fine when using `gcc -mno-cygwin`, but the
popen()'s that fail are like:
 sprintf (utc_comm, "%s", "date -u +%Y%m%d");
  if ((ptr_comm = popen (utc_comm, "r")) == NULL) {
      // ...
  }
  pclose (ptr_comm);
I guess the use of `date` is like trying to write to STDOUT which
presents some problems when using `gcc -mno-cygwin`.

Thanks.

Lester
