CYGWIN "notty" (enthought solution?)

[John F Burkhart <jfburkhart at gmail dot com>]

Hello all. I've found this post:
http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread32391.html
and I am having an identical problem.

I'm a newbie. I've installed cygwin (without python), and then installed 
enthought - because I'm hoping to use the scypy tools, etc.
Anyway, I'm running the latest cygwin on an xp pro machine. I use the 
.bat file (pasted below) to launch cygwin and an xterm. Notice i put the 
SET CYGWIN=notty line in there, but it hasn't done anything to improve 
the situation. Could someone perhaps explicitly sate how to set 
Cygwin=notty?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
john

REM
REM The path in the CYGWIN_ROOT environment variable assignment assume
REM that Cygwin is installed in a directory called 'cygwin' in the root
REM directory of the current drive.  You will only need to modify
REM CYGWIN_ROOT if you have installed Cygwin in another directory.  For
REM example, if you installed Cygwin in \foo\bar\baz\cygwin, you will need
REM to change \cygwin to \foo\bar\baz\cygwin.
REM
REM This batch file will almost always be run from the same drive (and
REM directory) as the drive that contains Cygwin/X, therefore you will
REM not need to add a drive letter to CYGWIN_ROOT.  For example, you do
REM not need to change \cygwin to c:\cygwin if you are running this
REM batch file from the C drive.

REM The error "Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'" is

REM Brief descriptions of XWin-specific options:
REM
REM -screen scr_num [width height]
REM      Enable screen scr_num and optionally specify a width and
REM      height for that screen.
REM      Most importantly, any parameters specified before the first -screen
REM      parameter apply to all screens.  Any options after the first 
-screen
REM      parameter apply only to the screen that precedes the parameter.
REM      Example:
REM          XWin -fullscreen -screen 0 -screen 1 -depth 8 -screen 2
REM      All screens will be fullscreen, but screen 2 will be depth 8, while
REM      screens 0 and 1 will be the default depth (whatever depth Windows
REM      is currently running at).

> REM -fullscreen
> REM      Use a window as large as possible on the primary monitor.
> REM -multiplemonitors
> REM      Create a root window that covers all monitors on a
> REM      system with multiple monitors.
> REM -clipboard
> REM      Enable the integrated version of xwinclip.  Do not use in
> REM      conjunction with the xwinclip program.
> REM -depth bits_per_pixel
> REM      Specify the screen depth to run at (in bits per pixel) using a
> REM      DirectDraw-based engine in conjunction with the -fullscreen
> REM      option, ignored if the -fullscreen option is not specified.
> REM      By default, you will be using a DirectDraw based engine on any

combination (default).
> REM      Example:
> REM          XWin -unixkill -screen 0 -screen 1 -screen 2 -nounixkill
> REM      Screens 0 and 1 will allow Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but screen 2 
will not.

> REM      Trap Alt+F4 as a server shutdown key combination (default).
> REM -nowinkill
> REM      Disable Alt+F4 as a server shutdown key combination.
> REM -scrollbars
> REM      Enable resizing of the server display window.  Do not use in 
conjunction
> REM      with -multiwindow nor with -rootless.
> REM -nodecoration
> REM      Draw the server root window without a title bar or border.
> REM      Do not use with -mutliwindow nor with -rootless.
> REM -lesspointer
> REM      Hide the Windows mouse cursor anytime it is over any part of the
> REM      window, even if Cygwin/X is not the window with the focus.
> REM -refresh rate_in_Hz
> REM      Specify a refresh rate to use when used with the -fullscreen 
option.
> REM -trayicon
> REM      Enable the tray icon (default).
> REM -notrayicon
> REM      Disable the tray icon.
> REM      Example:
> REM          XWin -notrayicon -screen 0 -screen 1 -screen 2 -trayicon
> REM      Screens 0 and 1 will not have tray icons, but screen 2 will.
