Subject: Re: bash scripting problem

d2u may also corrupt "text" files that need to have CR in them.  This 
includes bash scripts that need to parse or output CR.

-----Response Message-----
I found it surprising, but verified that it is not a Cygwin issue,
that d2u (a k a dos2unix) blindly deletes all CRs. Curious why it
wouldn't only delete CRs that precede LFs, thus allowing singleton CRs.
Not a Cygwin issue per se, but one of which its users must be aware.
