I tried that, but I always used VIM to see if it worked ... I didn't know VIM (being a text editor) always creates files in binary mode. >>>mount -sbc /cygdrive >> >>Thanks.

I also re-mounted the drives without "cygdrive" prefix, if that's what you mean. >>What I don't get: If I now create a file using VIM and look at it >>afterwards using "od -c", it still contains \n instead of \r\n line >>ends.

Strange: "set fileformat=dos" works in the editor, but not when entered into ".vimrc" (other commands in there work). -- Sebastian Schuberth -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
