No, "cat >file" should take input from stdin (the terminal) and write it to file, which in fact is what happens with the 1/15 cygwin1.dll.

I can try ^Z, but, again, the 1/15 dll works properly, taking a ^D as EOF. -- John -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
