Hi Thomas,For some reason this mail didn't make it into my cygwin mailbox, so it's good you sent me a personal CC.
...stty sane isn't supposed to do anything "sane" to the terminal, I think, just to the tty device.
Since you were looking into the Cygwin console code lately, maybe you
could find out why `stty sane' doesn't reset the character set?
There are two methods to switch to the alternate character set. One is by just sending a Control-N. Most terminals "guard" this method by requiring an enable sequence before this works. I guess this would considerably reduce the risk that this happens, that's probably why they do it.A couple of minutes ago I printed the bytes from an ISO image unfiltered to the console. Afterwards, the console was using the alternate charset.
`stty sane' does not switch back to the default charset for some reason.See above; I don't think it's supposed to do that.
If you have a bit of spare time, do you think you would like to have a look?Is it sufficient to complete this in 2 weeks (after Easter time)?
