[nfbcs] Jaws and Cygwin

[Doug Lee]

Your Cygwin experience baffles me, as I use Cygwin every day, all the
time. In fact, I'm currently typing this message through Cygwin and an
ssh connection from Cygwin to a Mac.

I use tcsh as my Cygwin shell, but I believe the default sh or Bash
shell (I forget which) works fine too, except that sometimes its
window title changes to match the application you're running in that
window, whereas this does not happen with tcsh. I don't use anything
X-related, and I forget the name of that. Perhaps you're doing
something like that? If you launch Cygwin in the customary fashion I'm
used to, you run cygwin.bat, usually located in c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat.
You could examine that file to see just what you're trying to run.

Hth.

Hello,

First I would like to greet everyone since I am new to the list. My name is Kevin and I am an undergraduate biology major interested in programming.

Second, I apologize if this issue has been answered. I browsed through the prior cygwin-related postings, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

I recently started doing research at a bioinformatics lab that analyzes RNA folding. In order to do my part of the research, I have to use a program called RNAfold. The lab PI suggested using cygwin to run the program. However, I ran into a few problems trying to use cygwin. When I open the cygwin terminal, I cannot get jaws (version 12) to read the output of what I type. The only way I can get such information is by pressing insert+b to read the whole window, or by selecting the entire window and pasting it into notepad. It doesn't even seem like the terminal is doing anything when I enter inputs (though I know it is doing something). Does anyone have any suggestions for anything I can do to start to get the terminal to behave more like an actual command line with jaws?

Thanks,

Kevin
