If your port is Cygwin-savvy (i.e. is a Cygwin application and uses Cygwin for its file I/O) then the question falls back to the mount tables.
The Setup option controls how the mount table is set up (binmode vs textmode mounts). Any program that opens a file in text mode (i.e. without specifically opening in binary mode) that is linked against cygwin1.dll obeys the mount table and, if on a textmode-mounted directory, eats up the CRs. If that causes a problem, either remount in binmode, fix your program or link against binmode.o As for a Cygwin-port of ksh, there's none I know of - but please feel free to contribute! rlc On Wed, 2 Jul 2003, Carl Lindgren wrote: > Thanks, but I'm still not sure why then the Cygwin install asks you whether > you want Unix or DOS style files (EOF's). > > After reading your post I did some further investigation and determined that > my problem is in my port of ksh and not specifically with Cygwin itself. > > Does anyone know of a Cygwin port for ksh that lets me choose between Unix > and DOS EOF's or at least uses DOS EOF's? > > Carl > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Christopher Faylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 7:20 PM > Subject: Re: Question on postinstall > > > > On Tue, Jul 01, 2003 at 07:04:05PM -0400, Harig, Mark wrote: > > >1.
