Subject: [ruby-talk:04198] Control-Z under Windows




Hi all,

Dave and I have discovered different behavior under Windows.

C:\> ruby
puts "hello world"
^Z
hello world

Workd fine on my Win95 box, but on Dave's NT box, the Control-Z
does nothing -- it just sits and waits.  He can type a Control-D
(as with Unix) and it works okay; if I type a Control-D I get the
little diamond. Both are cygwin builds of Ruby.

What *is* the correct behavior in this case?  Should one always type
Control-D for EOF regardless of platform, or should it be platform
specific?

Thanks as always...

/\ndy
