    Hmm, I've noticed this difference between the PC version of vim/gvim
versus the vim that comes with cygwin.  Using the PC version, vim/gvim seems
to be able to tell whether you're opening a unix file or a PC file and
display/edit appropriately.

    I tried copying my _vimrc from my PC installation to .vimrc in my home
directory, but that doesn't do the trick.  I figured it was either a switch
in vimrc or something to do with the mounts themselves.  BCNU//jle

Try setting "fileformat=dos" in your .vimrc file if you always want
your files to be treated as a DOS text file.  See the help in vim for
more info.
