I do lots of bash scripting including Windows/DOS commands, and I

'net' is a troublesome command that's been mentioned, although it seems
to be ok for basic stuff. But I guess there might be still be a few DOS
fullscreen apps around. Turbo Pascal perhaps? But yeah, I'd sooner
implement tabs than worry about DOS apps. ;)
"full screen" or "DOS" is a red herring. Any program that does something
like the following, if compiled as a native program, won't work in rxvt
(or MinTTY, or cygwin/cmd-shell-with-CYGWIN=tty):
#include <stdio.h>
main() {
int c;
while ((c = getc(stdin)) != EOF) fputc(c, stdout);
}
The thing is, THIS program works as part of a pipeline even when
compiled as a native program -- but it breaks if you try to use it
interactively within rxvt/MinTTY/etc. A cygwin-compiled version works
in all cases.
