I'm not sure the first part of your statement makes sense with the last part. The implication is that you're looking for UNIX-style line endings for "files referenced with drive letters" but you state that you "set up the text mode with mount", which implies that you want DOS-style line endings. Cygwin treats all paths using DOS drive syntax as DOS format files, using DOS line endings. You can use the Cygwin 'mount' command to mount a DOS path as a Cygwin POSIX path and to treat files in this subtree as UNIX-style files (using the '-b' flag to 'mount - see 'man mount'). But of course, this means you have to use the POSIX path to get this behavior. Otherwise, you can use 'd2u' to convert the file(s) in question. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
