From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Fox To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Subject: Which of cygwin32's design goals does ascii file conversion fulfil? Date: Fri, 23 Oct 1998 12:54:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 1998-10/msg00701.html As I have noted before, there are two types of cygwin32 users, those who are trying to make their Windows box feel more Unixy, and those who are porting Unix code to Windows. It seems to me that neither of these groups has any need for DOS ``text mode'' conversion (where lines are terminated by CR-LF.) Why not make binary mode the one and only default once and for all? There's probably a good reason that I'm not aware of... -- David Fox http://hci.ucsd.edu/dsf xoF divaD UCSD HCI Lab baL ICH DSCU - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
