Re: The DOS CR/LF thing?

[*jeffdb at netzone dot nospam dot com (Mikey)]

The FAQ and readme need a little bit of an update ;^)

Open &Start menu &Run
and type in regedit
open &edit &find
cygnus
left arrow until you see 	00
			01
			etc.
select each of these keys in the left pane
double click fbinary in the right pane
and change 0 to 1 in the popup

actually you only need to change the last 5 mounts with regedit,
other drives can be changed by (for example)

umount f:\\;mount -b f:\\ /f		

at the bash prompt
after you change over to binary mode, you will need
to reinstall from cdk.exe and user.exe, and change any
sources or headers that you previously untarred from 
CR\LF to LF
one way to do this for an entire directory is

for file in *;do cat $file|tr -d "\r\032" > t;mv t $file;done

this gets rid of ^Z as well as CR from the fixed files.
