If they are mounted text!=binary then you will have a \r (^M) prepended to any \n. If they are mounted text=binary, then someone else will have to give you an answer. To mount / as text=binary: 1) cd to the bin directory 2) umount / 3) mount -b c:\\ / - \\||// ---o0O0--Earnie--0O0o---- -earnie_boyd AT hotmail DOT com- ------ooo0O--O0ooo------- >Date: Sun, 12 Oct 1997 17:20:07 GMT >To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com >From: Victor Schneider >Subject: Output redirection, file creation, and libjpeg.a > >There's a curious problem with porting the jpeg-6 and jpeg-6a libraries to >cygwin32: They compile with no problem, and running `make test' confirms >that they work, but the `cjpeg' and `djpeg' utilities appear to have >problems (a) creating files and (b) using the input and output redirection >operators (`<' and `>'). > >When you generate a .gif file from a .jpg file using djpeg, you get >`spurious symbol' error messages from lview31.exe on the resulting .gif >file.
