Re: use of mount -b


I have to agree with this. Using mount -b to get sergey's version of bash
to work seems just plain wrong. I want all my text files in a format that
normal windows tools can understand, I don't think mount -b does this, does
it?

I still use the b18 distributed version of bash because it does what I
want, bar some history problems. Using sergey's version of bash 
requires me to convert files to unix format which I don't want to do.
