Thank you, Corinna.
Now I think I have a fundamental understandig problem:
I agree, that this behavior ist not to be expected in a binary
mounted directory. I tested this for confirmation, according to
your suggestion, and you are right.
But in a textmode mounted directory, 'echo peng >p.txt' creates
a 6 byte long file containing 'p' 'e' 'n' 'g' '\r' '\n'.
OK, exactly as expected. Now I thought, 'cat p.txt' would open
this file for reading in textmode, according to the default rule.
This is, what I expect, after reading the Cygwin FAQ:
"When processing in text mode, [...] written to the file [...]
you in fact get "Hello\r\n". Upon reading this combination,
the \r is removed [...]".
Why is it in fact not removed when reading with cat?
Thanks for any response.
Best regards,
Sven
