Subject: file contains ^M characters for binmode mount

Hi all,

I installed Cygwin 1.3.10 in another w2k machine (
this time i installed in w2k professional). I used
"unix format" to install. All mount point are in
binmode:

c:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
c:\cygwin\lib on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode)

As I want to simpify the problem to see whether it
related to "binmode" or not, i installed cygwin in c:\
cygwin and use c:\cygwin\home as home directory.

I run the perl (/usr/bin/perl) script again, 
1. I use "vi output_file", i cannot see ^M at the end
of each line. But at the bottom of screen, i see 

"fileabc" [dos format] 3 lines, 209 characters

2. When i use "cat -v output_file", ^M are contain at
the end of each lines.

3. When i use "od -c output_file", "\r\n" conatin at
the end of each lines.

4. When i run "dos2unix output_file", the file size
decrese.

I would like the output file should be in UNIX format.
Would you mind give me some
suggestion. Thanks for your kindly help.

Bella

>>1. I have a perl script which will generate a output
file. I use perl complier provided by Cygwin
(/usr/perl) to run the perl script. The file size of
the output file decrease when i run "dos2unix". Thus,
i think the output file is in DOS format (with ^M
control character). 

>> 2. I use Cygwin ftp server to ftp file from PC (say
w2k professional) to the w2k Server f:\. The file size
also
decrease when i run "dos2unix" command. i use ascii
mode to ftp.

>>3. When i use "vi" to create file in cygwin and run
dos2unix, the file size is NOT change.

>>I think i miss some setting in Cygwin, so the files
in
point 1 and 2 are in DOS format, but not for point 3.

binmode,
