Re: Getting bash working under Emacs


Sorry, it won't work.  My previous mail did not make it clear that the
CYGWIN_BINMODE environment variable is not currently implemented in any
version of B18.  Ditto for CYGWIN_GLOB.

The other CYGWIN_* environment variables are already implemented in
coolview, I think.
