In addition to all the ports working as promised, I was able to successfully do some ports myself (the most exotic being scm). The applications I used with no problems included bash, emacs, vim, less, genscript, TeX, autoconfig, configure, make, various shell scripts, perl, my own perl scripts, and on and on. I simply never worried about the \r\n issue. I did see it discussed occaisionally on the DJGPP newsgroup. My setup was a very standard dos 6.something, windows3.something (both plain and for work groups at various times). On NT with gnu-win, I've finally made things work by setting my entire cygnus tree to text = binary in the mount table. I'll admit that I now have few problems, but I really should be able to run with no problems without messing with the registry. Can someone explain why there are few if any problems with the way DJGPP handles this, and why there is a more or less continuous stream of problems with this in gnu-win? Well, I hope this doesn't sound like a major complaint. I give hearty thanks to all the people who have done so much to provide the cyg-win and gnu-win environment, and realize that this is still early in its evlolution.

It doesn't sound like you have set your mounts (mount -b) or CYGWIN32 (binmode) variable to binary mode so I suggest you look there first.<< Oh yes, this cured the problem (although I had to strip the \r's from my .bashrc to restart bash successfully). However, as Earnie Boyd pointed out, this seems to be more a workaround than a fix and I'll try to modify the zip/unzip sources to fix the problem (may take years, though).
