You have been assimilated. :-)

Although not as elegant as awk, you may find Rahul Dhesi's
'flip' useful. There's a Cygwin port with man pages at
<http://www.fay.nc.us/~glenn/cygwin/flip-1.00.tgz>.

I don't understand why you're getting those type files with text
mounts (text!=binary). I use text mounts and only text mounts on
Win95 to achieve what I think you are after. Most files created with
Cygwin tools on my setup have CR/LF pairs for line endings. I thought
that was the purpose of text mounts!

I know the above paragraph doesn't help you but perhaps someone else
may have some idea as to why we get different results.

Can you give me a test case?
