text vs binary in setup.exe

[Paul Wessel]

Hi-

I was unable to find information about the text/binary/system/user radio
buttons
in setup.exe.  I installed by selecting the binary option, with the
result that bash commands like

value=`cat file`

generate variables that have trailing \r\n which cause trouble when used

as arguments to gawk etc.  I assume I should check TEXT and reinstall?
Any documentation on these options?

Sincerely,

Paul Wessel
