"full screen" or "DOS" is a red herring. Any program that does something like the following, if compiled as a native program, won't work in rxvt (or MinTTY, or cygwin/cmd-shell-with-CYGWIN=tty):#include <stdio.h> main() { int c; while ((c = getc(stdin)) != EOF) fputc(c, stdout); } The thing is, THIS program works as part of a pipeline even when compiled as a native program -- but it breaks if you try to use it interactively within rxvt/MinTTY/etc. A cygwin-compiled version works in all cases.
I see, thanks for explaining that. What exactly does happen when calling read() that means that pty input doesn't reach the program?
