bash 2.01 and shell scripts

bash 2.01 and shell scripts

[Gunther Ebert]

Hi,

I have some strange problems using shell scripts with bash 2.01.
Both bash and cygwin.dll are from Sergey's latest patch (08/10/97).

When I try to execute a shell script, for example a configure
script, bash complains about syntax errors. However, the line 
numbers in the error messages do not match the commands bash 
complains about.

The most strange thing is that 

cat configure | bash

works.

Why don't you guys read Sergey's homepage exactly ?
He states, that you have to use binary mounts and change all your shell
scripts (and .bashrc is a shell script) from DOS format to U*ix format:
"Bash 2.01 fails to read scripts with crlf line separators. Leave single
line feeds."

In this case "cat" handles the <lf>s.
