Bingo! That was the problem. Thanks.
I was using /cygdrive/..., which are binmode. Mounting the win directories under the cygwin heirarchy in text mode solved that little problem. I operate cygwin the same way as I use Linux, ignoring binmode/textmode until it bites me (usually, this means ^M characters appear at line endings, not in the middle of lines). I assume that the appropriate thing to do here would be to patch the indent sources to make it work as expected when using binary mounted directories.

Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 21:58 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: indent.exe strangeness I've tried a few approaches with obtaining (or building) indent.exe but the executable always seems to include extra ^M characters (usually following the whitespace which is inserted at the start of lines) to the beautified output. Does anyone know if this is: (a) a run-time configuration problem, (b) a corrupted/out-of-date dll, or (c) a known bug with indent?
