Re: TPG tool files

[Douglas Wood <doug.wood () ieee org>]

There are options for installing CYGWIN on Windows on how to handle CRLF.  I can't remember where the configuration 
information is stored.  It isn't just in the mount file.  But, eventually, I figured out that it was better to have 
CYGWIN handling Linux mode and where necessary, do the explicit dos2unix/unix2dos (this was the command in the last 
version of CYGWIN I installed, the command name has subsequently changed in some versions of Linux, so it might not be 
an option with that name anymore, option was named something like textutils as I recall).

I made the decision to make CYGWIN go with unix conventions rather than Windows convention many years ago due to 
incompatibility of scripts with Linux/Unix/Solaris/HPUX when going back and forth.  Bash certainly doesn't handle CR-LF 
at all and other programs do "magical" processing of what to include as a line when doing something like a readline().
