[Sending this to the mailing list also, as my reply only got to eric
directly...]
Hi Eric,
first of all thanks for your reply.

Do I have to post this advice in any other list to get it to note to the
correct persons?

There are several other things which prevent this. The version control
system
itself could be told to do so.

I tried this IFS setting right below the SHA-BANG line, but nothing changed.
(I used emacs editor to be sure to write the correct characters.)

I actually DID attache the particular file.

Sorry - I exported the configuration while I temporarily switched back to
binmode
for testing when "ar" fails.

Yes I am. See:
$ which sh
/usr/bin/sh
$ ll /usr/bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 illenseer Kein 8 Jul 20 2005 /usr/bin/sh -> bash.exe
Any other ideas or comments on my actions? - Did I do anything wrong?
Can I mount a particular subdirectory (and all subdirs below this) in
textmode while the rest of the
partition will be mounted in binmode? (If yes, how?)
Thanks,
Frank
