There are two ways to set the binary mode switch. 1st by using the mount command or the registry editor and 2nd by setting binmode in the CYGWIN environment variable. If you have your mounts set as text=binary then you don't want to particularly change them. You don't want to have to worry with the \r\n in all the files either. So to help your problem set nobinmode in the CYGWIN variable before starting bash. == - \\||// -------------------o0O0--Earnie--0O0o------------------- -- earnie_boyd AT yahoo DOT com -- -- http://www.freeyellow.com/members5/gw32/index.html -- ----------------------ooo0O--O0ooo---------------------- PS: Newbie's, you should visit my page. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
