I trust someone else will chime in, but I thought this was not an issue? If a textmode mount can't have non-text, then it would be useless (and there would not be an option to make *all of cygwin* textmode in setup.exe, because nothing would work). Are you sure textmode isn't just applied to things opened (using the Cygwin libs) with "rt", and has no effect if you open "rb" (which is how I would assume it works)? -- Matthew The hippo made me do it!
