  What I mean is that there is no explicit flag anywhere that says "cygwin was
installed in binary or text mode".

  The mount-mode of the root directory *is* of course explicitly stored, in
the registry; and if it has not been changed since, you can /deduce/ that the
current mode is the result of the mode chosen last time setup.exe was run.


    cheers,
