Hi, 
 
I work with B20 Cygnus/Cygwin under W2K. 

 
Any command requiring input from the console halts 
the shell. Nothing can be entered
or even typing control-C will not interrupt the 
shell. I have to kill the Cygwin command
box. 
 
Examples: read, rm -i file, etc.
 
Thanks in advance, 
Johan Holtman

I have not seen any such problems on either of 2 installations of W2K, but I 
didn't try B20.  I have been using the 19990819 snapshot for 2 months now.  I 
would suspect either your version of cygwin is too old or there is something 
peculiar about your W2K installation (e.g. keyboard driver not correct--that 
was one of the reasons I was unable to install W2K on my latest P III Xeon 
box; it has non-standard drivers for both keyboard and video, although it can 
run linux at reduced resolution).  That also would be a reason for installing 
dual boot and comparing the performance of cygwin under 2 different OS on the 
same hardware.  My experience has been that recent cygwin snapshots behaved 
much better on a properly working W2K installation than on NT4 or W95.  I'm 
sure you've noticed that cygwin is targeting NT4SP3 as primary supported OS, 
so I accept the ability to work elsewhere gratefully.
