It seems to me that the consle input and output are set binary since the 
following code segment is working fine on my home PC under bash 2.01. 
However, it will not working properly under DOS prompt in which the 
'\x0d' is missing due to the property of text mode.

PS: I use Sergey's patch of gnuwin32.dll, gnuwin32.a, and bash 2.01 
with binary mounting.

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  if( argc == 1) {
    //  ...
    // need to set cout as binary to make this work under DOS !
    // OK with UNIX
    dos2ux( cout, cin);
  }
  else if( argc == 3) {
    ifstream file_in;
    ofstream file_out;
    ...
    file_in.open( argv[1], ios::in | ios::binary);
    file_out.open( argv[2], ios::out | ios::binary);
    ...
  dos2ux( file_out, file_in);
}

void dos2ux( ostream & out, istream & in) {
  char c;

  while( ( c = in.get()) != -1)
    if( c != '\x0d') out << c;
}

Hope this help.

Sincerely,
Wei Ku
