I'm following up on an issue I posted about previously. I fiddled with the settings in the shortcut that opens rxvt. When I removed -tn rxvt-256color, the colors then worked in Tinyfugue, in my cygwin install on my laptop. I also carry cygwin-compiled Tinyfugue on a USB stick. What I did was hand-copy the dlls needed and I created a shortcut and batch file that provide the necessary command-line parameters to point to the right directories. It works pretty well for me in this setup with the standard windows terminal. I copied rxvt.exe to the same directory on my usb stick, and then copied libW11.dll, when rxvt.exe crashed without it. Now, I can open rxvt and run tf. However, from the USB stick there are no 256 colors. All I get is the 8 basic and bright colors. Also, tf's "visual" (split screen) mode isn't supported. I get a brief error message indicating rxvt doesn't support that mode. However, it does on my home cygwin install. Putting -tn rxvt-256color in the shortcut doesn't give me 256 colors either. I found my "termcap" file in my cygwin laptop install and I have a copy of it on my USB. However, I don't know how to point rxvt to it. The best I can find reading online man pages is setting the "TERM" environment variable, which isn't the same thing. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
