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.
