Depending on your setup though, editing a file in your favourite Cygwin based editor might give you an odd looking file in the end (some lines with DOS-endings and some with *n*x-endings). I doubt Cygwin would have a problem with that, but I don't really want to test what Windows would do. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
