If you have downloaded the tcsh sources from cygwin/contrib/tcsh, you have the changes incorporated. There's no hint to Cygwin itself but you will find many places with sth. like #ifdef O_TEXT setmode (fd, O_TEXT); #endif or the same for O_BINARY. Roughly spoken the bin/textmode patch is doing usually the same in all shells: O_TEXT mode for: - stdin - script files - here scripts - backquote commands - the `read' command O_BINARY mode for: - pipes Leave it as it is for: - stdout, stderr and their redirection (no demand for completeness) Hope, that helps, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
