Hi all,
 
I am looking to have "switchability" between UNIX mode and DOS mode in
cygwin (the choice during the installation).  We install all of our
cygwin installations in UNIX mode.
 
A subset of our developers use Windows-based editors. We use the cygwin
cvs to checkout files from a remote repository.
 
For some reason, this hiccups the windows editors -- probably CR/LFs.
 
Is there a way to "switch" to DOS mode either through setting a variable
in local shell, .profile, or some config file in /etc?
 
thanks --
