2. My shell scripts don't work .. I tracked this down to something that seems to have changed in the file formats, if I put the same text in a new file its ok. Doing OD on the files reveals some bytes are different near the end of the files depending on whether I created them after the update or before (created with vi).
Reading through the Cygwin announcements on the Cygwin announce list for any recent bash would likely provide you some insight into this problem. Sounds like the same old DOS-style line endings on a binary mount point to me. If you only want to "do something", you can try running your scripts through 'd2u' and see if that solves the problem for you. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
