Hi All, I do as the manual (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-textbinary.html) says: When redirecting, the Cygwin shells uses rules (a-e). For these shells the relevant value of CYGWIN is that at the time the shell was launched and not that at the time the program is executed. Non-Cygwin shells always pipe and redirect with binary mode. With non-Cygwin shells the commands cat filename | program and program < filename are not equivalent when filename is on a text-mounted partition.
I have edited c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat as: @echo off set CYGWIN=binmode C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin bash --login -i After I relaunch cygwin and run: echo abc > a.txt The file a.txt is in DOS format, not in UNIX.
