Bob Proulx scripsit: > You must be running a port of the GNU ptx to a MS platform.
Not necessarily. In this particular case, the subject line shows that the port in question is Cygwin, but this is not a Cygwin-specific issue. The Windows line-ending convention is now all over the place. With file services like NFS, AFS, and CIFS, it's not uncommon for non-MS systems to have to process MS text files (and indeed vice versa; many though not all native MS text tools now cope with Unix-style line endings). Line-ending bugs ought not to be rejected out of hand any more. -- The experiences of the past show John Cowan that there has always been a discrepancy [EMAIL PROTECTED] between plans and performance. http://www.ccil.org/~cowan --Emperor Hirohito, August 1945 _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
