It seems that if there's no editor for modifying bootup scripts and if there's no alternative, the editpad-lite editor for text end-of-line formatting was emphasized in my original message, however once a cygwin has been initialized i'd set my pointers up for no other means than encouraging users to bend themselves to vim and emacs...don't get me wrong! cygwin does a great job preserving the cr-lf issues while crossing windows partitions to edit text files from within cygwin...i use vim most of the time on my textfiles (after I manually setup cygwin) and so I hope you too don't have to rely on non-cygwin tools...
