It was never freeware. It's open source software and will be as long as
it exists.

The next release??? Probably this year.

Corinna -

thanks so much for your response. i was hoping that maybe there was a termcap
edit i could make. i judge from your email that the answer is "no".

freeware release?

I believe this is a terminal 'thing' but I don't know exactly how to change
it. 

For more information:
	man term
	man termcap
etc. there is a terminal 'clear' setting.

The cygwin console mode currently doesn't support that. I have
just added that to the CVS repository. It will be available in the
next version of Cygwin.

Problem: is it Vim or cygwin/bash setting?

[rich coco]

In an older B20 release of cygwin, when i used Vim to edit a file and
eventually exited, my window reverted to the state it was in prior to
the vim session (ie, the text being editied by vim is no longer
visible).

I upgraded to the latest cygwin release (i was missing groff,
ghostscript, lots more...) and noticed that the above behavior - which i

prefer - does not occur. That is, when I quit my Vim session, the text I

was editing stays on my screen, clobbering the pre-vim context.

i cannot determine if this is a Vim configuration thing or a
shell-configuration thing.
What can I modify - if anything - to get the behavior i want?

Tia,
