I put 

CYGWIN=tty

into my .bashrc file, and the "channel stdout" error still happens.  Am I still doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Tom Klopfstein

Try setting CYGWIN=tty before running expect.  Apparently expect needs
this for some reason.

Yes.

In general, you should set the CYGWIN environment variable before you
run any Cygwin processes.

This means that you have to either start a console window:

C:\>set CYGWIN=tty
C:\>c:\wherever\bin\bash
bash$

or you have to use some other method for ensuring that the environment
variable is set in "Windows space".  On NT, you do this via
Control Panel->System->Environment Variables

On 9x, you could put this in your autoexec.bat.  Dunno how to do this
on ME.

Think of Windows ME as Windows 98 SE with a Windows 2000 "look and feel".
It's almost exactly the same under the covers.

But does it have autoexec.bat?  I thought that use of DOSisms was deprecated.
