I'm new on the list today
I use generally use Cygwin for minimalist trawling through ascii dumps of databases using combos of grep awk printf etc


I cannot type "grep" on cmd line in cygwin anymore as of this morning!


It seems I have lost the lowercase "e" key. Uppercase works. All other keys seems to work.
All keys work in windows (on same computer).

Any clues anyone?


Thanking you kindly
Dom

Oh My God No!

Its another attack of the much feared "e" virus.

This was probably written by an adolescent who saw too many episodes of 
Sesame Street.
