Consider that Cygwin 1.7 hasn't been released yet. Well, yeah, but I wanted the script to work /now/, not whenever we can track down and fix the bug. Of course, nobody else is seeing this bug anyway... > Isn't that workaround for textmode a bit complicated?

Sure, that's a lot simpler. Second question: has mount /always/ supported '-o text' as an alternative to '-t', or has that formulation been added only recently? (I seem to recall some work on the 1.7 trunk to 'make mount's options more like *nix). -- Chuck -- 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/
