Hmm - I still seem to have a problem with CRLF endings in a .bcrc file on a
text mount.  I also ran into similar warnings from sed while trying to
re-run ".configure" on bc.  My .bcrc was created with NT-Emacs using the
default CRLF encoding.  Manually cleaning up the file to just use LF
continues to fix the problem with this latest DLL.  Reverting back to the
1.1.0 DLL works fine with the CRLF version of the file.

I would appreciate it if any adventurous souls would try out the
latest cygwin snapshot by downloading this:

ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/snapshots/cygwin1-20000524.dll.gz

This file should be copied to your /bin directory.  There should also
be a cygwin1.dll in this directory.  If there isn't, you're in the wrong
directory.

Once it's downloaded please:

    1) Terminate all running cygwin applications

    2) In the command shell, cd to the MS-DOS equivalent of your /bin
       directory, e.g.,
	d:
	cd cygwin\bin

    3) gzip -d cygwin1-20000524.dll.gz

    4) copy cygwin1.dll cygwin1.dll.safe

    5) copy cygwin1-20000524.dll cygwin1.dll

    6) Check any failing applications for correct operation.

This snapshot should fix all of the "\r\n" line ending problems that
were in cygwin-1.1.1.  It should also fix problems with rxvt on Windows
95.

Just to be clear, fixing "\r\n" line endings means that if you are in a
directory that has been mounted using the "-t" option then makefiles
should work as they used to in cygwin B20 and cygwin 1.1.0.  This DLL
fixes problems with text mode reads.

This DLL does not change anything about the way that the setup.exe
program previously mounted your root directory.  setup.exe mounts the
root directory as "binary".  If this is not acceptable you still have
to mount any directory containing files with MS-DOS style line endings
with the "-t" option.

So, if you have a directory called d:\src and it has all of your
sources in it, and they all have the carriage-return/line-feed endings
you have to:

	mount -t -f d:\src /src

This will cause files in d:\src and any subdirectories of d:\src to be
interpreted in text mode.

If you do try out this DLL, I would appreciate hearing success or failure
reports here in the cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com mailing list.  Do not
send them to me personally.

If everything seems to be working well, I'll release a new version of
the DLL over the weekend.
