Subject: nedit on Cygwin
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:27:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <50D34A6C.5010602@alumni.caltech.edu> (raw)

I've used NEdit on Cygwin/X for a couple of years without significant 
problems.  Last night I updated to the latest release (it had probably 
been a year or more); now when I invoke NEdit (directly or by incanting 
nc) it starts, and seems to work OK, however I get the error message 
"UTF8 locale not supported." and command line control is not returned to 
the shell until the NEdit window is killed.

I see old messages about NEdit not supporting UTF8, but none of them 
describe this behavior.

Any suggestions?  (Note that editor preference is a theological issue, 
so responses praising whatever editor you happen to worship would not be 
helpful.  As Apu Nahasapeemapetilon once said, "Please do not offer my 
god a peanut.")

Cygwin/X 1.13.0, NEdit 5.5 (Nov. 18 build), on Windows 7 Home Premium. 
Thanks.
