With a freshly-installed Cygwin from a mirror that's a few days old, and with c:\cygwin\bin mounted textmode and a network share directory of bash scripts also mounted in textmode, using scripts that had CR/LF endings, each blank line in the script caused an error, and there were other errors too. In short, I don't think the text mounts are doing their magic correctly at the moment. (The scripts mentioned above did work correctly in much older Cygwins using text mounts.) <philosophy> I wonder how many centuries of human endeavour has been absorbed because of the decision to use CR+LF as line endings in DOS? </philosophy> luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
