I agree heartily with this; the only Windows tool I use that is actually dependent on CR is notepad, and usually that is only for a lazy verification that CR is/isn't present Everything I've written for dealing with Windows CR infested outputs in *nix environments I strip all CRs as my first step, and do not put CRs in my output; so far no complaints from end users about the missing CRs. -- Erik -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
