Hi, All,
It's in the cygwin file tree, /usr/bin/dos2unix version 0.1.2.
The file was a few minutes old when I tried in-place conversion.
Anything is possible, regarding preserving the file timestamp
even after the conversion (afterall, I think some gzip's do that).
My "fix" is to use it as a filter.
Fred
