Hi-
I was unable to find information about the text/binary/system/user radio
buttons
in setup.exe. I installed by selecting the binary option, with the
result that bash commands like
value=`cat file`
generate variables that have trailing \r\n which cause trouble when used
as arguments to gawk etc. I assume I should check TEXT and reinstall?
Any documentation on these options?
Sincerely,
Paul Wessel
