It does not seem to work too well with configuration files for vim itself having cr/lf. Easy test: create a .vimrc-file in your home open it with vim. type: <ESC>:echo &fileformat response should be unix (If your home is on binary mount) now, type <ESC>:set fileformat dos insert a few empy lines <ESC>:wq now edit the file again, vim starts with error-messages: Error detected while processing /home/ring/.vimrc: line 2: Not an editor command: ^M line 3: Not an editor command: ^M line 4: Not an editor command: ^M Press RETURN or enter command to continue ==> everything is fine until the user wants is own personal .vimrc and his home is on a textmount ==> or the user wants to start some vim scripts with source and the scripts are either from the Windows-version of vim or also on a textmount. Simply using vim should not do any hard unless / is also a textmount but then ARGH... but fortunately every install from cygwin reverts / to a binary mount. bless god (or whoever is responsible for this) for this behaviour of setup.exe Michael
