Re: Latest version of SSH and WinCVS Problems


Hi Corinna,

I really don't know exactly what characters are expected by WinCVS but I just tried CYGWIN=binmode and CYGWIN=nobinmode and as a result: with regarding to WinCVS no difference, still the same error with cygwin-1.3.11 dll. When reverting back to cygwin-1.3.10 the problem disappears.

Gerrit.

In theory it should be the other way around since 1.3.11 tries to
do everything in UNIX mode if the user doesn't say different.

Could you play with the CYGWIN setting 'binmode', please?
