Hello, I am using cygwin on my Windows NT system and facing a problem. I have an application which opens the terminal as file and writes and read to the terminal. The source code is in Fortran which opens the file with name specified as value returned by utility 'tty' i.e is terminal name. For this very reason I download the cygwin for internet. The problem, I am now facing is that if I compile and build the executable with the 'g77' compiler supplied with cygwin, the application works i.e. the application opens the terminal as file and reads and writes to the terminal. But if I compile and build the application using 'Compaq Visual Fortran Optimizing Compiler Version 6.1', the application does not write and read to terminal, instead it writes and tries to read from a file '/dev/conin'. The is beacuse 'tty' utility of cygwin returns this value and therefore application opens a file named as 'conin' under the 'dev' folder of current working drive. This is not the case if the application is built using the 'g77' compiler available with cygwin.
Kindly, let as know how can we work out a solution for this as we have to build the application using the 'Compaq Visual Fortran Optimizing Compiler Version 6.1' which is available with Visual Studio from Microsoft.
