Hi Terry,
Don't know exactly what accounts for the performance drain you see with 98. Like you say, could be just a slow machine. You'd have to debug it to know for sure.
One point. /usr/share/terminfo/c/cygwin == c:\usr\share\terminfo\c\cygwin only if the Cygwin root mount point (/) == c:\. As you can see, you get this for free if your current drive is c: but that's not guaranteed. You may want to add one step and one binary to your installation procedure. That is, after plopping the files down where you want them, invoke the following:
mount -s c:/ /
This will require privileges to write to the system hive of the registry. If you don't have this right or can't get it, you can omit the '-s' flag, but the mount will only be available for the current user. You will need to repeat the command (minus the '-s') for all the users that need your application on that machine. You don't need to leave 'mount' on the machine after installation.
Larry - mount defaults to "-s" these days. If you want user-mode mounts, you need to use "-u".
Heh. Right. Sorry about that.
