Actually, someone had reported a text-mode bug in a previous release, and submitted a patch to me. I used this same patch to build 7.05. I guess I need to look more closely and find other open calls that aren't passing the binary flag down. > or perhaps it is a cygwin-bug... don't know yet I don't think it's a Cygwin bug, just a porting detail that I thought I had dealt with :-( > only mounting the dir where the ps/pdf is in binary mode, doesn't help. > does ghostscript create any temp-files? Not sure. I'll have to examine the source. BTW, thanks for the bug report and your help in tracking it down. I'll see if I can create a 7.05-2 build in the next week or two. -- Dario Alcocer -- Sr. Software Developer, Helix Digital Inc. alcocer@helixdigital.com -- http://www.helixdigital.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
