From: jcook@mseng.kla.com (John Cook) Subject: using cat on binary files (CTRL-Z trauma) 18 Oct 1996 16:37:24 -0700 Sender: daemon@cygnus.com Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: <326803E3.cygnus.gnu-win32@mscorp.kla.com> Original-To: gnu-win32 Encoding: 12 TEXT X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com When I try to cat a binary file, cat bails upon receiving the first CTRL-Z byte. CTRL-Z is the DOS end-of-file character (right?) so this makes sense within the cmd shell, but the same thing occurs within bash. Is there a way to prevent this behavior when using cat?
