For what it's worth, I'd be happy with that. Only a few of the POSIX tools I can think of object to CR at the end of a line in text files anyway. Most just treat it as extra whitespace which is usually ignored. (Many Windows tools like CL.EXE and Visual Studio are happy with UNIX line endings too.) I think the overhead of explicit file conversions or textmode mounts for certain sub-directories isn't too much of a burden anymore. Having said that, can I ask for the option to binmode UNC pathnames? They appear to be textmode at the moment when I use I/O redirection in the shell from a grep command, even though I've got binmode in CYGWIN. This makes some things I do with .Xdefaults a bit of a pain. (Xlib does object to the CRs.)
