Re: patch and dos text (NBY)

Joseph,

Most of these tools will not like the \r\n combination as they are ports 
from the friendly UNIX world.  You must have your directories mounted as 
text=binary.  You must use the cygnus supplied gzip and tar programs to 
unzip the file sets.  There has been much discussion about text=binary 
on the list, please check the mail archives pointer below.

Let me point you to:
