g77 -mno-cygwin I/O problems in bash

[Michael Lemke <ba0571 at mail dot bnv-bamberg dot de>]

I've recently upgraded my b20 installation to the latest net release.  I am
really impressed.  Great job!

Here's a problem though that wasn't there in the b20 release.  Consider this
simple prog:

Work> cat test.f
        character string*20
        read( 5 , '(a)' ) string
        print *, string
        end

If I compile this with

   g77 -mno-cygwin test.f

and run it in a bash window the program never reads the input
from the keyboard.  Run in a simple MS-DOS window the prog works
correctly.  The same also happens with READ(*,'(A)') ...
However,

   echo otto | ./a

does work in bash.

Oh, to make Fortran work at all with mingw I copied libg2c.a from
Mumit Khan's site as that was the only mingw version I could find.
However, the stuff there does not seem to be the same that comes
with the net release in the /usr/lib/mingw directory.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael
