Hieu Thanks for your comment.
How can this be a line-ending issue? Where are line-endings involved? What is appending an extra character to the first word and why? The 1st input word *is* being recognised and translated (as I said, the translations under dos are correct) --- "bydd" translates to "will be". I'm using identical material under cygwin and dos, the only difference is under cygwin I'm using a shell script and under dos I'm using a ".bat" file. If it is a line-ending issue why is it affecting dos and not cygwin? Hieu Hoang wrote: > hi ivan > > i think this might be a problem with line ending again.
