I tried that, but I always used VIM to see if it worked ... I didn't 
know VIM (being a text editor) always creates files in binary mode.

I also re-mounted the drives without "cygdrive" prefix, if that's what 
you mean.

Strange: "set fileformat=dos" works in the editor, but not when entered 
into ".vimrc" (other commands in there work).
