cygwin 1.1.6 bug on Windows 2000

cygwin 1.1.6 bug on Windows 2000

[Burns, Ken]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1049 bytes --]

Hello,

When I try and run 'awk' from a TC-Shell in cygwin 1.1.6 on Windows 2000, I
get a "16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem" error (see attached Windows bitmap).

 <<error.bmp>> 
For example, if it try

	awk '{print $2}' data

using the attached data file, the error will occur.

 <<data>> 
I have repeated this on a number of different PC's (Windows 2000, cygwin
1.1.6) with the same results.

Regards
Ken Burns

Either your tcsh or your awk aren't native Cygwin. Install gawk
via the Cygwin `setup.exe' (see http://cygwin.com ) and tcsh e.g.
from ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Vinschen_Corinna/B20/

The bit map image shows a path of "c:\odsdev\bin\i386\tcsh"

This does not look like a cygwin path.  If this is a 16 bit version of tcsh, that could explain the problem and you will need to change to a cygwin version of tcsh to fix
it.  You should check the cygwin web site for links.
