expand changing DOS line endings to Unix line endings

["David Christensen" <dpchrist at holgerdanske dot com>]

Cygwin:

I have run Cygwin setup and chosen "DOS" line endings.


When I create a text file with DOS line endings (CRLF):

    This is a text file created with Notepad.
    It has DOS (CRLF) line endings.


Look at it with (unxutils) "od":

<CVSENV>dpchrist@p42800e:~$ dump textfile.txt
000000   T   h   i   s       i   s       a       t   e   x   t       f
000010   i   l   e       c   r   e   a   t   e   d       w   i   t   h
000020       N   o   t   e   p   a   d   .  \r  \n   I   t       h   a
000030   s       D   O   S       (   C   R   L   F   )       l   i   n
000040   e       e   n   d   i   n   g   s   .  \r  \n
00004c


Run it through Cygwin "expand":

    <CVSENV>dpchrist@p42800e:~$ expand textfile.txt > textfile.out


And look at the output using (unxutils) "od":

<CVSENV>dpchrist@p42800e:~$ dump textfile.out
000000   T   h   i   s       i   s       a       t   e   x   t       f
000010   i   l   e       c   r   e   a   t   e   d       w   i   t   h
000020       N   o   t   e   p   a   d   .  \n   I   t       h   a   s
000030       D   O   S       (   C   R   L   F   )       l   i   n   e
000040       e   n   d   i   n   g   s   .  \n
00004a

Note that the line endings have been changed to Unix ("\n").
