Looked, but didn't see this addressed in the archives... Just realized that cygcheck output contains DOS line endings forcing me to pipe it through d2u in certain applications. Wondering if this is intended or desired behavior. It is installed in /usr/bin, so I would expect to behave Unix-like.

I want to be able to extract a package's name from its version information output by cygcheck -f. For many packages it is easy: just strip off after the first hyphen; for example: $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/find findutils-4.6.0-1 $ cygcheck -f /usr/bin/find | cut -d- -f1 findutils $ But, then there
