strange script behavior with cygwin 1.0 bash

Hi Earnie,

I filtered the scripts through tr and it was indeed a CRLF problem.  However
I would like to be able to edit the script in windows and run it as is ...
Could the other versions of cygwin be working because the directories are
mounted differently?

Yes, your error is most likely caused by \r\n line endings.  You must have
text=binary mounts, correct?  There are two ways to correct the problem:

1) remount your directories into text!=binary mode

2) cp foo.sh foo.tmp && tr -d '\r' < foo.tmp > foo.sh

3) Oops I said there were only two, use the most recent net release.

Cheers,
