Max, thanks.
OK... I had actually checked that, but it didn't come to me as
straightforward how to use it for my particular problem. Can I just
assume that if I don't see any "textmode" field in the mount table, then
everything is fine?
More specifically, does something of the kind:
#!/bin/sh
# test we're in binmode
mount | grep textmode >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]; then
# found text modes - probably bad
bail();
else
proceed();
fi;
would do? (I don't have a DOS-type installed Cygwin available at the
moment, so I'm doing this blind and can't test it...)
Thanks again,
