Kevin, No Unix (-like) system has forward delete during "cooked" mode terminal interaction. One could only choose which ASCII code coming from the terminal would cause removal of the currently final character of the input line buffer to be removed. In editors such as Vi or Emacs, all keystrok

Rxvt and rxtv icon

2002-01-31 Thread Michael Schaap
Hi there, I *love* being able to use rxvt under windows, but I've never understood why it uses such a weird icon (apparently a TV, "rxtv.ico") and not the (far nicer, IMO) standard rxvt icon. Both icons are actually compiled into the application, but the icon used when running is the rxtv one

Tcsh and rxvt

Hey all. I don't really know if this is Cygwin specific, but I run into strange problems with tcsh under rxvt (both updated yesterday, together with all other packages). First problem: It seems that the man page for rxvt is broken. The names of the colors (the content of the missing file rgb.txt

Well it took some doing...I downloaded Service Pack 5 (130 Mbytes, once you find it) for C++ 6.0. It shows the same symptoms. It's probably way easier to get a patch into bison.simple than to (just) have Microsoft fix the standard C++ header files. Probably there's the same problem with bison.h
