Which means I used the recommended unix/binary line feed setting. It sounded like that means I get no line-ending translation done by cygwin, which is fine. So I open a .bat file and see a bunch of ^Ms at the end of each line. Then I open a xml file and don't see them. I was expecting to see the ^Ms again as the xml file, just like the bat file, was created in a windows environment. Is this normal? Another question... When I'm editing a file that has the ^Ms do I leave them alone, or delete them? Will I be able to go back and forth and use vi via cygwin, and notepad/textpad via windows without harming the file? Thanks...
