problems with tcsh 6.08.00 port in B20.1

[Ian Miller]

Hi, I've observed the following (minor) problems with Corinna Vinschen's
tcsh 6.08.00 port in conjuction with B20.1 :

* set correct = cmd

	$ od
	$ cd ?
	$ which od
	/c/CYGNUS/CYGWIN~1/USR/BIN/od
	$ which cd
	cd:      aliased to cd !*; clear; ls; echo ""
	$ co
	$ c ?
	$ which co
	/c/CYGNUS/CYGWIN~1/USR/LOCAL/BIN/co
	$ which c
	c:       aliased to clear

* set complete = enhance

	$ ls 
	rcs-5.7-cygwin-b20-bin.tar.gz
	rcs-5.7.tar.gz
	$ gunzip rcs-5.7.[TAB]	
	
	- invokes the bell - it won't complete any further than that!
	- but gunzip rcs-5.7-[TAB] does complete
	
Also is there any way of getting completions without the trailing .exe,
which Cygwin doesn't like? e.g.

	$ tc[TAB]  {completes to}
	$ tcsh.exe {which won't run}

I don't know if these problems are specific to the port, or general
tcsh problems - please accept my apologies for the off-topic post 
if it is the latter!

cheers,
ian

I'm using native port and have had problems with the '.' character and file 
completion.  Here's an example (no <CR> entered on any of the following):

<4> l ft
FTP.LOG        FTP.PL         ftp/           ftpsniffer.pl
<4> l ftp.						# added p.
FTP.LOG        FTP.PL         ftpsniffer.pl
<4> l ftp.p						# added p
FTP.PL         ftpsniffer.pl

Notice that only one of these files satisfies the criteria 'ftp.p'.

This works ok on native.

AFAICS, correction works ok. I'm not using it but I have checked
it out. The problem is as follows:

Your od is not named od but od.exe

The correction mechanism checks that "od" is unexistant and
that a command "cd" is similar. No doubt, the similarity of
"cd" to "od is greater than that of "od.exe" to "od".

You can solve this by renaming each `foo.exe' to `foo'.
In this case you have to give `foo' explicit execute
permission in opposite to `foo.exe' which has implicit
execute permissions given by cygwin.

This has the advantage that the command completion can't
complete the `.exe' but as a result you can't start these
apps from command.com resp. cmd.exe.

You can give those exe-free files explicit execute permissions
by three ways:

NT or W2K:
	CYGWIN=ntea, chmod +x foo

NT or W2K on NTFS, using Cygwin 1.0 CD or newer snapshots:
	CYGWIN=ntsec, chmod +x foo

9X, NT, W2K, using Cygwin 1.0 CD (???) or newer snapshots:

	mount -x Drive:/your/bin/dir /your/bin

It seems to me as if the completion mode `enhance' is not
what you want, because it's exactly doing what it should do.

One tip: man tcsh, then search for `enhance'.

Unsetting the variable `complete' seems to exactly doing what
you want.

Corinna

The above examples are using `complete=enhance'. Unset the variable
`complete' and it will work as you have expected.
