Karr) Date: 12 Jan 2001 10:50:32 -0800 Message-ID: Lines: 23 User-Agent: Gnus/5.0807 (Gnus v5.8.7) Emacs/20.6 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I want to explore the possibility of using binmode instead of textmode. I successfully changed the default to binmode. When I tried changing the mode on "/usr/bin", in an MSDOS shell with: mount -b -s d:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin It said: mount: /usr/bin: Device or resource busy I'm doing this from the root directory of a different drive, and I've killed every process that could possibly (AFAIK) have this open. I'd appreciate some information about this. When I get past this, what other issues should I expect, and can I deal with them? For instance, what do I have to do with "pdksh" and NTEmacs to work with this? -- =================================================================== David M.
