It turns out that I was on a text!=binary mount, and that creating a text=binary mount did not solve my problem (either way I get files with a single LF as the end-of-line sequence). Several people (N8TM AT aol DOT com, Earnie Boyd , "McCunney, Dennis" ) advised me to get a more forgiving editor than Notepad. This is no problem on my part (I use Emacs when possible), but other users out there will think that my Cygwin-based script does a poor job if it produces files that "look weird" in the Microsoft environment. So, while I consider the CR LF convention to be among the stupidest of this century, I still have to stick to it :-(. --Rabbe Fogelholm, Ellemtel -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
