cyrillic console

2002-12-01 Thread Oleg Leschov
Currently, the character set in cyrillic console seems to be cp1251, while in cmd.exe it is cp866. Nothing too wrong with this, except that cp1251 lacks pseudographic symbols. I am using cygwin to run tin 1.4 with codepage translation table from koi8-r to cp1251. So the pseudographics does not s

Question about Cygwin license

Can standard GPL v2 code be included in Cygwin? What if I look at how that code does something and then write my own implementation? What if the two implementations are very similar? What if I tell someone else on the mailing list how to do it? Chris -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/m

Hi, Im not to sure about changing codepage, something to do with the CYGWIN environment variable (codepage:???). On the latter if your having problems building the dll use the instructions from http://cygwin.com/cvs.html to get the sources and http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC103 as a guide

Rolf, Chris, Chroot is a very big club, indeed. Unless you've set up a separate execution environment (including binaries, libraries, configuration or auxiliary files such as those ordinarily located in /etc or /lib, etc.), very little will work after a successul "chroot" call. Note that "chro

Chris, When an exec(2) system call fails do to a file format problem (ENOEXEC) as opposed to a file-not-found error (ENOENT) or a permission error (EPERM), the fallback action taken by the shell is to interpret the file as a script. One could argue that the shell should be a little more intell
