Excerpts from Alexander LAW's message of dom mar 18 06:04:51 -0300 2012: > I see two ways to resolve the issue. > First is to use CharToOemBuff when writing a string to the "con" and > OemToCharBuff when reading an input from it. > The other is to always use stderr/stdin for Win32 as it was done for > msys before.

Using console directly instead of stdin/out/err is more appropriate when asking for passwords and reading them back, because you can redirect the rest of the output to/from files or pipes, without the prompt interfering with that. This also explains why stderr is used instead of stdout. -- Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
