Greetings.
I have a new Windows-7 machine and one of the first things I downloaded
was Cygwin, making sure to include a2ps and ps2pdf.
Unlike the flawless running (after diddling $HOME/.a2ps/a2psrc) I had
under my previous XP box, This one is misbehaving: It does nothing
visible, even for a2ps --version. Observe:
+--------------------------------+
| Jake@Maxwell ~$ a2ps --version |
| Jake@Maxwell ~$ echo $? |
| 127 |
+--------------------------------+
Error 127? What's wrong? According to errno.h:
#define EISCONN 127 /* Socket is already connected */
I already know from the cygwin setup that this is a2ps release 4.13.
Has a2ps gotten too smart and started messing with sockets? if so, is
there an option in a2psrc I can mess with to make remove this obstruction?
Thanks for any useful advice here.

Note: If I could have found a forum on a2ps alone I would have posted
this there.
