Current downloads of Cygwin packages are missing cygpopt-0.dll. This is
supposed to be packaged as libpopt0, but that package is not on any
mirror that I can find. Result is dos2unix, unix2dos, d2u, u2d do not
work. They terminate with a 53 return code without doing anything and
without displaying any message. I solved it by copying cygpopt-0.dll
from an earlier install (several years old). For the benefit of others,
please can somebody get that package back in the distribution.

Thanks
Peter Bennett
