That's because cygwin's ptys are actually pipes. The native app doesn't know that this particular pipe is actually a pty (although a cygwin app would of course) and buffers its output as if the application was not being run interactively. The only alternative is to change the native app's buffering. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
