Hi,

Bizarre.

Using "putty" to ssh into an AIX box
with a fully installed emacs.

When it makes the connection and offers
login/password and a shell as a result,
emacs -nw then gives

   "standard input is not a tty"

for a standard vt100 emulator in putty.

Anyone seen this? Google-searching implies
that a pseudo-terminal needs to be allocated
but there is no way to force this and
it is the default anyway in putty as there
is an unchecked "Don't allocate a pseudo-terminal"
radio-button, which I've tried checked and unchecked.

Thanks ahead for any insights on the above anyone.

Stuart

I've never seen that.  I haven't used putty in a while, but every time
I've needed to use a Windows machine, putty worked just fine to connect
back home and run Gnus.

More information was requested three years ago, but apparently wasn't
given, so I'm closing this bug report.  Please reopen if it's still
valid.
