Problems with archiver "ar"

[Frank Illenseer]

Thanks Eric for the proposals for "mount":
    >mount -f -u -t "c:/cygwin/home/eblake/text" "/home/eblake/text"

Unfortunately this does not work for me. (Shell scripts still show that this 
is not mounted in textmode). The directory I have to mount in textmode would 
be

    C:\DATA\myProject\solution1

so I tried (taking your mount as reference)

   mount -f -u -t "C:\DATA\myProject\solution1" 
"/cygdrive/c/DATA/myProject/solution1"

and "mount" showed the following

    C:\Programme\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
    C:\Programme\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
    C:\Programme\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
    C:\DATA\myProject\solution1 on /cygdrive/c/DATA/myProject/solution1 type 
user (textmode)
    c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)
    d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount)
    k: on /cygdrive/k type system (binmode,noumount)
    y: on /cygdrive/y type system (binmode,noumount)
    z: on /cygdrive/z type system (binmode,noumount)

but indeed the directory of interest seems to work in binmode.
I need the directory in the "surrounding" of the other directories, i.e. 
relative paths are required.

Any comments help?
Thanks in advance.


PS: The problem with "ar" is still there and I think (as Eric pointed out) 
that "ar" is not correctly reading in binmode/textmode. Once I solved the 
mounting problems, I will do some more tests with "ar".
