RE: Bogus assumption prevents d2u/u2d/conv/etal working on mixed files.

2004-04-05 Thread Ken Thompson
I don't think the behavior should be changed. d2u stands for dos to unix which means \r\n to \n. Why would one expect a dos to unix utility to convert mixed line terminator files. If you need such a utility, then add one but don't take a utility that does dos to unix and try to turn it in to

RE: bash incorrectly determines HOME and HOMEDRIVE

2004-03-25 Thread Ken Thompson
I don't think this is really a bash issue. I think HOMEDRIVE is actually set by XP and bash is just importing it. Cygwin has a default for NOME if it is not set but it is unlikely to be what you desire. Just set the environment variable HOMEDRIVE to 'H:' and it will do exactly what you wish.

I can verify this behaviour for Cygwin 1.5.7 and NT emacs 21.3. Judging by the lack of response on the list, I suspect this is something you will have to chase down yourself if this is a big problem for you. -Original Message- David S. Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 4:18 PM
