IO from bash disappears...

[Andy_Lord at tertio dot com]

I've look in the FAQ and a brief tour in the mailing lists. Its probably
there but needs to be "in my face" a bit more ;-).
Andyway - If I run a "certain" program from cmd.exe it works fine. If I run
 it from sh it barfs.
The program is MSVC link.

>From CMD.EXE it prompts for files etc. as follows (ignore the fatal error -
 thats just me hitting return)

------------
C:\>k:\general\msvc\bin\link

Microsoft (R) Segmented Executable Linker  Version 5.60.339 Dec  5 1994

>From bash  I get the following: (ie no interaction at all )

------------
C:\>sh
sh-2.01$ //k/general/msvc/bin/link
sh-2.01$

What gives?

Hi Christopher,
Are you saying that if I mount c:\cygnus\b19\H-i386-cygwin32\etc to
/etc and I use the Win32 native vim to edit /etc/termcap that vim
should see c:\cygnus\b19\H-i386-cygwin32\etc\termcap?
If the answer is yes, was this a change made in b19?  I know that it
didn't work for b18.
Thanks,
Earnie.
