All I have a problem using rxvt on the Windows 98 platform. I use rxvt over the command prompt because it gives me a useful scrollback facility.
I do a lot of database administration on SYBASE and Microsoft servers, and these come bundled with a utility called isql. The problem I have is in the way this application works with rxvt. Usually when you open an isql session you get a prompt like 1> However on rxvt, this is not the case, you get nothing. Although if you run a command the results are returned, but without the prompt again. This is not due to the cygwin environment, because if I run cygwin in a command shell, isql works fine. I have heard from a tools developer that isql returns 2 streams, a message and a result stream, so I figure this must be in someway connected to the way command shell and rxvt handle standard error, or something like that in a different manner. I tried running isql with the 2>&1 redirective but to no avail. I know this must make little sense to people not familiar with the tools, but I was kind of hoping there would be someone who happened to have used isql on this list. Thanks as always in advance for any help, and happy holidays.
