- It's not MiNT that puts in these ^M but the (GNU/MiNT) library. You
- should include 'b' in the UNIXMODE environment variable. Then the
- library implicitly assumes all fopen()'s are in binary mode unless
- explicitly overridden. It's easiest to put a line like this in
- mint.cnf:
-
- setenv UNIXMODE /brU
-
- This means:
- - / is converted to \ in filenames
- - fopen()'s are binary by default
- - the root device is U:, e.g /etc/termcap is converted to
- U:\etc\termcap
-
- Btw. the standard atari format *is* CRLF.
