I've been taking some time to clean up my termios/console patches that have been sitting in my queue for a few months now. One of the points that need clarification is how the various ways of setting the CRLF translation will be handled. Devices which use termios already sort of have a mechanism for dealing with LF -> CRLF translation and I'm wondering if it will add anything to mix the CYGWIN=binmode or O_TEXT/O_BINARY stuff into the pot. The only reason that I can think of for making console, serial, and tty honor binmode is for consistency's sake. But you know what they say about a foolish consistency... -- cgf AT cygnus DOT com http://www.cygnus.com/
