You were correct - it is not sh that is broken, it was your scripts. And have you considered point 2, that running d2u might be easier than using igncr? > > The value of the latest enhancement isn't immediately apparent to me. READ THE ARCHIVES! This topic has been talked to death in the past two months. The value is the fact that Cygwin on binary mount points is _designed_ to emulate Linux, and on Linux, you will get the _same_ syntax errors with raw carriage returns in your scripts; furthermore, this change was made in response to a performance bug. In my opinion, text mode files are a hack for people unable to follow Linux semantics; either use text mount points, or specifically ask bash to operate in text mode; either way, it should help make it clear to yourself that you are moving away from Linux behavior and getting slower performance as a result. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
