I don't understand the question. I'm talking about *fixing* tools like 'od' which do not always open their contents in binary mode as they should. I'm not going to be sweeping through all of the tools provided with cygwin and indiscriminately making them read their input in text mode. od was probably a bad example since I don't know if it is broken or not. The last time I checked, I thought it was, but I have just checked it and it is working as expected. So 'od' does not have to be touched. It correctly opens the file in binary mode and accurately dumps the contents. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
