I have Cygwin/X installed on Windows 7. In an xterm, I turned on logging via Main Options > Log to File.
When I open my log file with Vim I get a warning that it might be binary. Looking through the file I see what I think are VT datastream escape characters. It makes it hard to use the file as a record of commands entered and results.
Should I be viewing the file another way?
Is there a better method to achieve my goal of keeping a log of what I've done. I could probably increase the scrollback buffer and use copy/paste but I am trying to avoid that.
$ xterm -version
XTerm(308)
$ cygcheck.exe -V
cygcheck (cygwin) 1.7.30
Thanks,
Gary
