According to the user manual, Chapter 3...


In b20.1 of 12/98, a file will be opened in binary mode if any of the following conditions hold:


        1.binary mode is specified in the open call


        2.CYGWIN contains binmode


        3.the file resides in a binary mounted partition


        4.the file is not a disk file


So I'm asking the same question as above, if I do not mount a drive at all and I have specified binmode in CYGWIN then why does the file end up with CRLF in it?  If I do mount the drive, then I get LF only, which is what I want, but without having to mount every drive.
