if you haven't done this yet stop,
remount all filesystems -b
and then reinstall from cdk.exe
and user.exe
the shell scripts/headers/sources would only have cr\lf
if you were mounted without -b to start with
or if you used winzip to install.
attached is a utility to convert all the files in a dir to \n from \r\n and vica/versa
after building put in path and do
ln -s dtou.exe utod
to convert \r\n to \n do
dtou * (under bash)
to convert \n to \r\n do
utod * (under bash)
no checking is done for utod so if you use it on the same file
multiple times you will get \r\r\r\r\r\n.
to recursively fix all files in a tree use dtoutree
WARNING
no check for binary files, this is meant for source trees
and include trees only
