Actually... wouldn't it make more sense to call the Cygwin pipe pty%d-from-master / pty%d-to-slave and the non-Cygwin one something like pty%d-from-master-nat / pty%d-to-slave-nat ? After all, Cygwin is the norm, and non-Cygwin is the exception. On second thought, this would also make sense for thr fhandler methods, i. e. get_output_handle / get_output_handle_cyg vs. get_output_handle_nat / get_output_handle Probably the fhandler stuff is too much renaming for this release, but we should do this for the next one, I think. Thanks, Corinna
