Thank you. Something's changed though not quite as described above.

Has something changed in the conventions for default mounts? I've either 
missed something, or I'm doing something wrong.

After installing cygwin 1.7.6 mount -p shows flag textmode. I reverted 
to 1.7.5 and mount -p shows flag binmode.

For the moment I have reverted to 1.7.5.

This is an utterly horrid change (binmode to textmode) but I guess it is 
intended (and was probably discussed forever in advance of making it). 
Please can you  confirm (intended change), or is this a glitch 
(unintended change, to be corrected) or has my installation become 
de-railed (1.7.6 should be binmode like 1.7.5; somehow, in this local 
case, is textmode and needs mending locally)?

Fergus
