Cygwin by default uses the "bash" shell and runs it in the "Command Prompt" window for windows. You can change the shell to something else if you like, by editing the cygwin.bat file. You can change the window it runs in by using either xterm (also requires X Windows to be installed and running) or by using rxvt, which doesn't require X Windows. 'rxvt' is a great solution and you will probably think it works very much like solaris. Remember that cygwin is not solaris (or any other type of unix) -- it is its own thing and has its own unique feel to it (though it may be similar to unix). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
