Reiner makes an excellent point that make.bat has to always have DOS terminators so that distributions built on Unix will work right on WinX. My concern was that I've run into more than one file with newlines applied inconsistently. Still, it appears that flagging make.bat as binary appears best. We'll have to simply be diligent about correcting any errors that creep in. Kevin
