You're probably gonna get loads of replies to this, but, as it's
actually a problem I can help you with ;-) here goes...
The problem with your .bashrc file is to do with the fact that coolview
is expecting UNIX text files, ie, files that use CR to end a line, not
CR/LF like Win/Dos does. The way to fix this is to download gsar.exe
from Chuck Bogorad's page (see link belo), as this has an option (-du)
to convert text files to unix format. Also, you need to make sure your
mounts have (text=binary) and not (text!=binary) which can be fixed with
a simple regedit (just search for cygwin, then amend the (1) after
fbinary to be (0) - I changed the mount entries under both
'Cygnus Solutions' and 'Cygnus Support')
Alternatively, just take a look at the following web page -
http://gnu-win32.paranoia.ru/
which contains all this information and more.
