Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20000807-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

 (nearly) all (La)TeX programs that I tested work quite well with
 sources that have DOS style line endings. 

 The one exception I encountered so far is makeindex. Somehow it
 gets confused, if the Index Style file (.ist) which is used as in
  makeindex -s $(Project).ist $(Project)
 has DOS CR/LF line endings.

 Fix is probably simple... ;-)

  Greetings,
   Ulf

I don't know exactely when it was fixed, but now makeindex can definitely
work with dos line endings:
        $ cp `kpsewhich gind.ist` .
        $ unix2dos gind.ist
        $ latex ....
        $ makeindex -s ./gind.ist texput
        This is makeindex, version 2.15 [TeX Live 2012] (kpathsea + Thai 
support).
        Scanning style file ./gind.ist.............done (13 attributes 
redefined, 3 ignored).
        Scanning input file texput.idx....done (2 entries accepted, 0 rejected).
        Sorting entries....done (2 comparisons).
        Generating output file texput.ind....done (13 lines written, 0 
warnings).
        Output written in texput.ind.
        Transcript written in texput.ilg.
        $

Closing this bug (5 digits!)

Best wishes
