CVS/RCS/or anything || UK Keyboards

[Sagar R. Shah]

Does anyone know where I can get RCS for Cygwin 1.1.

I found a download 
rcs-5.7-cygwin-b20-bin.tar

but I'm not sure whether I should try and install it since it's clearly
marked Cygwin B20.

If RCS is no longer around can anyone recommend another revision system that
I can get working under cygwin?

I tried CVS, but got that file permission error, which no one seemed to help
me out with


-----------

Completely different note. Does anyone run cygwin with a UK keyboard?

My autoexec.bat has the following lines:

mode con codepage prepare=((850) c:\windows\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=850
keyb uk,,c:\windows\COMMAND\keyboard.sys


The side affect of these is that I'm unable to get the pipe (|) character in
bash/cygwin. As you can imagine this is pretty annoying.

I can get | if I first execute "keyb.com us" first, but of course this
messes up all my other keys.

Help! Please.

Did you really want 2243 replies to your message that all said, "Nope, I
haven't seen that problem here." ?  The reason no one responded was
because no one knew what the problem was.

FWIW, "Nope, I haven't seen that problem here."  Did you run 'cvs init'
once, prior to any other cvs command?  That would have initialized your
chosen $CVSROOT directory and put a default 'modules' file and
'cvswrappers' file into $(CVSROOT)/CVSROOT.

$ export CVSROOT=/cvs
$ cvs init
$ cvs checkout CVSROOT
$ cd CVSROOT
$ <edit cvswrappers, etc>
$ cvs commit
$ cvs release
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf CVSROOT

No clue.  In the future, please separate different topics into separate
emails -- this helps keep the mailing list archives a useful reference.

I have the latest version of cygwin installed on my home PC and on a
laptop and b20.1 (upgrade pending) on a PC at work. All of these have UK
keyboards and have the same three lines in the autoexec.bat file. On all
three machines the | character works just fine. Sorry Sagar but the
cause of your problem is not the UK keyboard.
All of these three machines are running W95b.

[Harris, Andrew S]

I'm running Win98SE with UK keyboard, using the latest cygwin, and I have
the same problem - the pipe symbol is not working in bash. This is really
inconvenient, of course. 

I've previously used B20.1 on another machine under Win95 SR2, also with UK
keyboard settings, and the pipe symbol worked fine there.

With the latest cygwin (11 September?) on a laptop under WinNT Sp4, with UK
keyboard, pipe symbol works.
