Interesting response to off topic message

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Christopher, I appreciate your stomping the X thread, it was confusing to have it going in both lists. I wanted to answer your question as to why I 'moved' it to the cygwin mailing list. It was a MISTAKE, get it? Or, really a series of mistakes: 1. I re

Re: Cygwin Here and $HOME

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Igor, Thanks, the link was apropos (adj). I dig the rxvt, didn't even know there was such a thing (and if you hadn't noticed, I am unashamed!). re:posix and $HOME, bummer - it MUST be right, then. I will suffer through it :( Later, Will Igor Pechtchansk

Re: Problem with spaces embedded in filenames

'Web'. While to some, it may be white noise - to others a symphony, that brings clarity out of mist. Wiki, Blog and all your base are belong to us... See ya, and by the way, I meant it - when I promised. Later, Will Igor Pechtchanski wrote: | On Fri, 4 Jun 2004, Will Senn wrote: | |>

Cygwin Here and $HOME

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 All, I have a couple of questions for y'all, but first the background: I like to be able to right click a folder in explorer and have a menu item : Cygwin Here that opens a Cygwin command prompt at the folder that I have selected. I wrote this registry

Re: Problem with spaces embedded in filenames

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Fred, Many thanks for your assistance on this. It worked like a charm. Kinda weird how the output of the sed command produced the correct list, but tar didn't receive the same. I like the new command better anyway, no sense writing | sed -e s/\ / /

could not open default font 'fixed' - revisited

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 All, I have read the thread on this error and while interesting and captivating, it doesn't appear to apply to my installation. I heard cygwin switched to X.org from XFree86 over licensing, etc. I decided groovy, my cygwin installation is getting a bit

Re: PATH and HOME in cygwin

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 There's a doc? Well color me surpised, who'd of thunk it? I've been using cygwin for nigh on 20 years, well, at least since B19 and I never knew. I thought it was a sort of modern day heath kit that you had to figure it out for yourself. Go figure. Nice

Problem with spaces embedded in filenames

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I am doing backups with tar on XP. I thought that I could touch a file when I did a full backup and then use find with newer to only back up files that are newer than the touched file: ~touch /cygdrive/i/backups/full_backup ~find /cygdrive/d
