-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Graig on 10/14/2007 7:51 AM: > The message below generated an email thread amongst the gnu folks,
to which, I reiterate what I said in that thread: > I maintain the cygwin port of coreutils. Cygwin's philosophy is a bit > different from some of the other ports to windows: when using binary > mounts, cygwin's goal is to behave like Linux. Since ptx on Linux has the > same behavior in treating \r literally, that is why I have made no effort > for cygwin to behave any differently when you are using a cygwin binary > mount. Put another way, the fact that you use a binary mount on cygwin is > an agreement on your part to use files that are binary-compatible with > Linux (ie no \r line endings), and tools like d2u should be used to > convert problem files on a cygwin binary mount. On the other hand, you > can use a cygwin text mount, which will ignore the \r with no > recompilation required. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
