Nope. DOS device letters don't correspond to mountpoints. The overall default text/binary mode is set at install time, and can be varied on different mountpoints, but since you aren't using a mountpoint to access the drives, they get the default mode that you chose at install. Is there any reason you're forced to use drive letters, or can you just make binary mode mountpoints to correspond with your drive letters? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
