According to the user manual, Chapter 3...

In b20.1 of 12/98, a file will be opened in binary = mode if any of the following conditions hold:

        1.binary = mode is specified in the open call

        2.CYGWIN = contains binmode

        3.the file = resides in a binary mounted partition

        4.the file = is not a disk file

So I'm asking the same question as above, if I do not = mount a drive at all and I have specified binmode in CYGWIN then why = does the file end up with CRLF in it?  If I do mount the drive, = then I get LF only, which is what I want, but without having to mount = every drive.
