<DIV>Hi.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this is the correct place for this mail.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have quite a few awk program-files that ran </DIV>
<DIV>without any problems on gawk prior to 3.1.1 -<BR>I think it was
3.0.4.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>During the weekend I upgraded my Cygwin installation</DIV>
<DIV>and Gawk 3.1.1-2 is now installed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But - ALL my program-files created with DOS type editors</DIV>
<DIV>and ending in CR/LF now give problems. </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>gawk comes back with error 'invalid char' for each ^M.</DIV>I have to
manually remove the CR at the end of each line to get it to work.</DIV>
<DIV>And using vim doesn't help as it accepts the CR/LF </DIV>
<DIV>combination. Effectively I have to open each file as </DIV>
<DIV>a DOS file and save as a Unix type file - or force it</DIV>
<DIV>thru FTP to strip the CR's.</DIV>
<DIV>All would be fine - except in the field - *nix type editors</DIV>
<DIV>ain't allways available and something like wordpad must </DIV>
<DIV>make do. And so the problem continues.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Am I missing something? Is there an environment variable </DIV>
<DIV>that suddenly needs setting?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh and yes - I am running gawk in a cmd shell.</DIV>
<DIV>But I get the same problem running in bash.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For the time being I'm reverting to the previous version</DIV>
<DIV>of Gawk and the cygwin1.dll.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tx in advance</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kind regards</DIV>
<DIV>PwP</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
