That would in my opinion be less surpricing for an MS Windows user. We decided long ago to preserve the EOL format, and I think that decision was correct. As I wrote elsewhere, I use Patch from within Emacs on Windows with no problems at all. Emacs has commands to force specific EOL types when it saves files and communicates with subordinate programs, so the defaults are not really important. -- 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/
