I may be missing the point Vince, but why not just use the \t, \r, \n in the printf format string?

The most minor of nits: "What's New in Version 30" should say 31.

Sorry, enabling legacy mode resolved it and I have no problem with that as 'the final solution' although Rex may eventually care to fix the underlying issue.

Good shout Vince. Setting that option resolves the issue, which I guess is good enough for me because I have no intention of switching away from Take Command (at least not until I give up on Windows for my development box entirely and switch to a Linux variant, which probably won't happen now...

Detaching the tab results in a TCC window with the correct colours. Conversely, attaching the console window that I'd previously created whilst testing this results in a tab without the colours in exactly the same way (ie. the earlier output from rustc is dithered grey but the final word...

For the obvious reasons I had cause to upgrade my development system from Windows 8.1 to 10 (22H2) today and I am now suffering from an odd problem that was not happening with the same version of Take Command (v25) under 8.1 in that some of the colouration of the text output by the Rust compiler...

Rex, I have not noticed this again since, so I guess it was just some strange environmental thing (although it seems odd that anything would break the named pipe during the period between starting TCMD and the first default TCC running). To answer the question above, the first tab window opens...

Folks, I had a weird one when first starting Take Command after installing Windows updates today. Given that the effect is subtle (just a message really) and the knock-on effects are minimal, this might have been happening regularly and I've missed it. I always start TCMD from a Taskbar icon...

I would be surprised if the new deactivation mechanism worked for older versions, but then I was also surprised to see that it displayed the license information for versions going back to 12.10 (although in my case a couple of the results look a little shonky - with my gaming rig having been...

I'm quite certain that Vince's suggestion of removing the existing pinned icon and creating a new one will work because I've had to do that periodically down the years on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. It seems that, even on 'in version' updates, whatever it is that Windows uses to...

Thanks for the clarification Rex, and no big deal either way - it has to try to load one before the other, I guess, so which one is purely academic

Vince, The only obvious difference between your environment and one of mine was the Windows 10 version (I upgraded from Windows 7 a couple of days ago and the update cycle had only got to 1803 by yesterday evening, whilst 1903 was installed last night) and since the 1903 update I see the same...

Vince, Standalone TCC or TCMD? Unicode output turned on or not? Which OS? What does 'which net' tell you is getting executed? Output from net time looks perfectly normal here on both Windows 8.1 (with v20 of TCMD) and Windows 10 (with v25) in either TCMD or TCC.

Rex, As a matter of interest (because I can work around it using aliases or executable extensions) how does Take Command/TCC decide which REXX implementation gets loaded at start up? On my work box I have both ooREXX and Regina installed and because of the order in which their directories...

Interesting Joe, thanks for that. At least on my system I can make this work using alias ubuntu=`"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\CanonicalGroupLimited.UbuntuonWindows_1804.2019.521.0_x64__79rhkp1fndgsc\ubuntu.exe"` but given that folder name YMMV. I found that name using this PowerShell...
