Actually I hadn't heard about set -o igncr until this thread but 
thinking about it I wouldn't use it. If I did then things would "just 
work" for me. Problem is I'm very good with Cygwin but I come across 
others who very often do not invest as much time to get to know Cygwin. 
So if there's trailing CRs in a script I want it to fail so that I see 
it. Otherwise another user will say "I tried that but it didn't work" 
(as they always do) and I don't want it to "just work" when I try it - I 
want it to fail like it most liked did for the other guy.

When I hit this problem I simply do d2u <file> and I'm done.

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for 
reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
