Making Cygwin write DOS style text files

[Rabbe Fogelholm]

Hi again,

Doug Wyatt <dwyatt@sunflower.com> advised me to check if I was on a
text=binary or a text!=binary mount. It turns out that I was on a
text!=binary mount, and that creating a text=binary mount did not solve
my problem (either way I get files with a single LF as the end-of-line
sequence).

Several people (N8TM@aol.com, Earnie Boyd <earnie_boyd@yahoo.com>,
"McCunney, Dennis" <DMcCunney@roper.com>) advised me to get a more
forgiving editor than Notepad. This is no problem on my part (I use
Emacs when possible), but other users out there will think that my
Cygwin-based script does a poor job if it produces files that "look
weird" in the Microsoft environment.

So, while I consider the CR LF convention to be among the stupidest of
this century, I still have to stick to it :-(.
