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...)
