I read the info page on gawk and BINMODE, it does not seem to be working:

  ~ $ cygcheck -c gawk
  Cygwin Package Information
  Package              Version        Status
  gawk                 3.1.5-4        OK
  ~ $ printf "\r\n"|awk 'BEGIN {BINMODE=3;}; {print}'|od -c
  0000000  \n
  0000001
  ~ $ printf "\r\n"|awk 'BEGIN {BINMODE="rw";}; {print}'|od -c
  0000000  \n
  0000001

How do I get sed 4.1.5-1 to act in text mode again?
