Probably doesn't use the tty in anyway.
Is getclip different from cat > /tmp/hosts <right-click to paste in the 1M lines> at least 'cat > /tmp/hosts' that goes faster than I can read. But while that's running I can open notepad, paste the 1M lines in there, save to \cygwin\tmp\doshosts, open another mintty window & dos2unix /tmp/doshosts -- all that before the <right-click paste> finishes :( Thanks, Lee -- 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
