(read > that again: redirecting a NON-cygwin process...) Don't be too angry Charles! I am sorry, I did not make myself completely clear and you misinterpreted my intentions. I am extremely grateful to the whole cygwin community for providing such an excellent suite to help many people SURVIVE in that hated Micro$oft environment :-) What I was angry at, (mad, crazy and so on ;-) (look at Shankar Unni's post - thank you Shankar :-)) was that some new 'inventions' of MS Window$ break completely some well prepared basics of a stable environment (aka cygwin). I bet there is a switch, registry entry or some such to make this particular Windoze 2000 behave correctly, but where to look for it is another question ;-). I just hoped there was somebody who encountered a similar problem, that's all. I do not like the idea of asking Micro$oft because the reply I am going to receive will be 'stop using cygwin, use DevStudio instead'. > > Seems a rather ungrateful response, to me. cgf's humorous reply was a > way of pointing out that you usually catch more flies with honey than > vinegar.
