Re: Unix/DOS text mode?

[Joshua]

    I think I'm being a bit dense on this issue for which I apologize.  What
option needs to be set to have the Cygwin-packaged vim autodetect
binary/text files and edit/save accordingly?  My .vimrc is a binary file,
BTW.  Thanks and BCNU//jle

It does recognize bin/text, just not for script files as .vimrc.
These must be binmode (LF, not CRLF lineending).

Nothing.  It should work automagically.  Which it does on my system.
I've just tested it explicitely since your postings made me nervous.

However, the unix/dos file recognition works based on examining only
the first line, AFAIK, so if the first line has only a LF instead of
an CRLF for some reason, vim treats the file as unixy.  Then you see
the ^M beginning with line 2.

 Hmm. At least for the version I installed last friday (using
 "install now" (aka setup) on the cygwin site) did *not* work.
 I have had to copy "/usr/share/vimv/im60/vimrc_example" as
 ".vimrc" to my $HOME and add the line "set fileformats=unix,dos"
 under the line "set nocompatible".

 My english is somewhat limited, but as I understand the "options.txt"
 in vim doc-folder, vim reads the whole file dicides on how many <CR>,
 <CR><NL> and >NL> it found. (However, that chapter in the docs is not
 really clear to me).

Interesting.  I have no such option set explicitely.  When opening
vi and then call `:set fileformats', the output is

  fileformats=unix,dos

And this is the default setting on Unix systems.  Cygwin is treated as
a Unix system by vim.

You're right.  It examines the whole file but the notes are clear:

- If _all_ lines end in CRLF, it's treated as dos file.
- If _one_ line is found with only a LF, unix is preferred over dos.

SSH & Editing in a Basic Shell, etc

[Peter M Boyd]

I am having difficulty trying to use CYGWIN SSH to
connect from Windows NT Client to Windows NT Server
and run only a SHELL environment and NOT a Windows GUI
environment. Any shell will do if it can support my
further requirements, which are to be able:

(1)	to page or browse through text files

(2) to use an edit program to edit text files (and
support the CTRL& functions that the editor
may need)

(3)	to interrupt a long running function

(4)	to run programs that can be run from DOS CMD.EXE


I have the latest (as of 15 Nov 2001) CYQWIN & CYGWIN
SSH installed.

I have been advised to use the ‘bash’ shell and would
be happy to use something else if known to satisfy the
above.

Connection is working fine; (4) is working fine

I canÂ’t get anything to work for (1) to (3).

Can you suggest what can be used to achieve these.

I have already had quite a lot of advice that is
either imprecise or that the advisors havenÂ’t tried
for themselves.

I’ve recently tried ‘vim’ for (1) and (2), but ‘vim’
just “hangs” when invoked.

‘vim’ works fine in a local shell shell environment

Re: Unix/DOS text mode?

[AGalick]

Thanks, this worked, but I never needed a .vimrc before and
my .viminfo history/recall is only loaded if I explicitly type :rv.
I (and my boss) were fed up with me squirrelling
with it, so I shelled out $79 for a cygwin 1.0 CD at
ccpcomputersupplies.com.  They're the only place
I could find with a stable release for sale.  Either
I'm paying for being a sorry excuse of a 'puter geek,
or I'm getting a good deal to avoid being a guinea pig.

Try setting "fileformat=dos" in your .vimrc file if you always want
your files to be treated as a DOS text file.  See the help in vim for
more info.

Okay.  I saw three different Cygwin checks in the header files, so I 
decided to go with the safest one.

Here's a new patch.

I'm all with it but please drop the usage of __CYGWIN32__.  It's
depricated.  I will send a patch to vim-dev which drops all other
__CYGWIN32__ in favour of __CYGWIN later.

Here's a patch that changes the default fileformats in vi-compatible mode 
to "unix,dos", for Cygwin.
I'll also attach it, since I'm using Eudora (with format=flowed), which may 
screw up indentation.

If Corinna likes the patch, I'll also send it to the vim-dev list.  (It may 
be a while before it becomes "official", though, since Bram is on a 
well-deserved vacation.)

Re: Unix/DOS text mode?

[Michael Schaap]

The default value of "fileformats" depends on whether the "compatible" 
option is set.
If it is, then fileformats="", so file format autodetection is disabled.
If it isn't, then fileformats="unix,dos".
(This is for the UNIX version (including Cygwin).  The Windoze native 
version uses "dos,unix" in both cases.)

If a .vimrc exists, even if it is empty, "nocompatible" will be set, 
otherwise "compatible" will be set.

So, a default installation of vim on Cygwin will not enable file format 
detection.

(Source: ":help compatible".)

Re: Unix/DOS text mode?

[Joshua]

Corinna et al,

Strangely enough, my vim does *not* start up with the
fileformats=dos,unix option either.  However, adding
that switch to .vimrc does the trick.  I wonder where
your installation is getting that option set at?

Interesting.  I have no such option set explicitely. 
When opening
vi and then call `:set fileformats', the output is

  fileformats=unix,dos

And this is the default setting on Unix systems. 
Cygwin is treated as
a Unix system by vim.

You're right.  It examines the whole file but the
notes are clear:

- If _all_ lines end in CRLF, it's treated as dos
file.
- If _one_ line is found with only a LF, unix is
preferred over dos.

Re: Unix/DOS text mode?

[AGalick]

Thanks, this worked, but I never needed a .vimrc before and
my .viminfo history/recall is only loaded if I explicitly type :rv.
I (and my boss) were fed up with me squirrelling
with it, so I shelled out $79 for a cygwin 1.0 CD at
ccpcomputersupplies.com.  They're the only place
I could find with a stable release for sale.  Either
I'm paying for being a sorry excuse of a 'puter geek,
or I'm getting a good deal to avoid being a guinea pig.

Try setting "fileformat=dos" in your .vimrc file if you always want
your files to be treated as a DOS text file.  See the help in vim for
more info.

Okay.  I saw three different Cygwin checks in the header files, so I 
decided to go with the safest one.

Here's a new patch.

I'm all with it but please drop the usage of __CYGWIN32__.  It's
depricated.  I will send a patch to vim-dev which drops all other
__CYGWIN32__ in favour of __CYGWIN later.

Here's a patch that changes the default fileformats in vi-compatible mode 
to "unix,dos", for Cygwin.
I'll also attach it, since I'm using Eudora (with format=flowed), which may 
screw up indentation.

If Corinna likes the patch, I'll also send it to the vim-dev list.  (It may 
be a while before it becomes "official", though, since Bram is on a

Re: Unix/DOS text mode?

[Michael Schaap]

The default value of "fileformats" depends on whether the "compatible" 
option is set.
If it is, then fileformats="", so file format autodetection is disabled.
If it isn't, then fileformats="unix,dos".
(This is for the UNIX version (including Cygwin).  The Windoze native 
version uses "dos,unix" in both cases.)

If a .vimrc exists, even if it is empty, "nocompatible" will be set, 
otherwise "compatible" will be set.

So, a default installation of vim on Cygwin will not enable file format 
detection.

(Source: ":help compatible".)

Re: Unix/DOS text mode?

[Joshua]

Corinna et al,

Strangely enough, my vim does *not* start up with the
fileformats=dos,unix option either.  However, adding
that switch to .vimrc does the trick.  I wonder where
your installation is getting that option set at?

Interesting.  I have no such option set explicitely. 
When opening
vi and then call `:set fileformats', the output is

  fileformats=unix,dos

And this is the default setting on Unix systems. 
Cygwin is treated as
a Unix system by vim.

You're right.  It examines the whole file but the
notes are clear:

- If _all_ lines end in CRLF, it's treated as dos
file.
- If _one_ line is found with only a LF, unix is
preferred over dos.

It does recognize bin/text, just not for script files as .vimrc.
These must be binmode (LF, not CRLF lineending).

Looks to me like "these files must be in binary mode" are "the vim 
script files, )such) as .vimrc."

Re: Unix/DOS text mode?

[Joshua]

    Corinna,

    Thanks for the enlightenment.  Regarding your statement, 'These files
must be in binary mode on Cygwin regardless of the bin/textmode of the
underlying mount point.', what files are you referring to?  I would
understand if the Cygwin files, ie config files in /etc need to be binary,
but are you saying that Cygwin needs to deal with all files (like
/cygwin/c/autoexec.bat) in a binary mode?  Or could the vim packaged with
Cygwin be set to autodetect the binary/text type?  My understanding of how
vim/gvim worked was that it would detect the binary/text type and preserve
the type when you edit save the file.  BCNU//jle

The Cygwin vim has the same ability to recognize Unix/DOS files
as the Windows native version.  After a discussion with Bram Moolenaar
he decided not to add that recognition to the vim script files
as .vimrc.  These files must be in binary mode on Cygwin regardless
of the bin/textmode of the underlying mount point.

you need  set  fileformat=dos.
you  may  try removing  the ctrl-m's  like  this  too  for a session
:%s/^M//g    where  ^  is   produced  by typing  ctrl-v.

Re: Unix/DOS text mode?

    Hmm, I've noticed this difference between the PC version of vim/gvim
versus the vim that comes with cygwin.  Using the PC version, vim/gvim seems
to be able to tell whether you're opening a unix file or a PC file and
display/edit appropriately.

    I tried copying my _vimrc from my PC installation to .vimrc in my home
directory, but that doesn't do the trick.  I figured it was either a switch
in vimrc or something to do with the mounts themselves.  BCNU//jle

Try setting "fileformat=dos" in your .vimrc file if you always want
your files to be treated as a DOS text file.  See the help in vim for
more info.

Unix/DOS text mode?

[AGalick]

After an upgrade, I seem to have lost all sanity in vi(m).
I used to see .txt files the same with notepad or vi, but
now in vi every line ends with a blue ^M.  I've played
with mount -[t|b] and tried [un and re]installing vim but I'm
stumped.  The thing is, it seems to have also disabled all
the nice search string history/recall (I guess because .viminfo
also shows those damned ^M's).  What have I done
or what has cygwin done?  I guess other stuff got upgraded,
too, but I don't know what.

Thanks,
Albert Galick
