thanks for the reply. curiously, I get the message "Cannot find the rxvt.exe or sh.exe binary -- = aborting". it's ok. I really like rxvt and I'll live with the problem now that I know= it's not my setup that's wrong. btw, it wouldn't be a bad idea to convert the FAQ on the site to a wiki pag= e... or at least have a link on the FAQ to a wiki such that questions like = these could be documented... -----Original Message----- From: Earnie Boyd [mailto:ea...@us...] Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 7:58 AM To: min...@li...

This is the number one issue to resolve on my list when I have time to code on it. The only workaround at the moment is to not use rxvt. Try ``start /msys --norxvt'' for a command window without rxvt.

I'm not sure how to tell the version I'm running (other than the fact that = the directory it created under the c:\msys directory is 1.0) but the msys.b= at contains this final entry: rem ChangeLog: rem 2002.03.07 Earnie Boyd mailto:ea...@us... rem * Move the @echo off to the top. rem * Change the binmode setting to nobinmode. rem * Remove the angle brackets around email address to workaround MS= rem buggy command processor. ...and I do use rxvt. so I'm not sure why the error, but it's ok, I'll live= with the problem. -----Original Message----- From: Earnie Boyd [mailto:ea...@us...] Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 4:18 PM To: min...@li...

That is the only entry in the ChangeLog!!? What does ``uname -r'' output? I'm curious because there have been updates and I'm after the version you are running.

Earnie, When you do that, could you please correct the spelling of my surname, in the changelog entry relating to the --norxvt switch, in msys.bat; as it is at present, it appears as 'Marshal', but should be 'Marshall', ending in double 'l'.
