I searched and did find another sed on my disk, but that was not in
the path. So - yes - I *am* using cycwin's sed.

Maybe that conversion comes from me redirecting the output to a file
using=20
'sed {options} > filename.ext'  ?!? I'll have to verify that!

There is no option to explicitly specify an output file, is there?
