Subject: RFE: Support Strawberry Perl on Windows via "winpty" library?
Could this "winpty" library be used to support Strawberry Perl on Windows without using cygwin pty emulation? https://github.com/rprichard/winpty Here's the description from that site: ========== winpty is a Windows software package providing an interface similar to a Unix pty-master for communicating with Windows console programs. The package consists of a library (libwinpty) and a tool for Cygwin and MSYS for running Windows console programs in a Cygwin/MSYS pty. The software works by starting the winpty-agent.exe process with a new, hidden console window, which bridges between the console API and terminal input/output escape codes. It polls the hidden console's screen buffer for changes and generates a corresponding stream of output. The Unix adapter allows running Windows console programs (e.g. CMD, PowerShell, IronPython, etc.) under mintty or Cygwin's sshd with properly-functioning input (e.g. arrow and function keys) and output (e.g. line buffering). The library could be also useful for writing a non-Cygwin SSH server.

I have no ready access to windows. So my question is back to you. Does this work?
