Hi Mark,

I have found a problem with e_flex in base (3.14.8.2).  It does not
handle .l files that have DOS terminators, which is what happens if
one un-tars EPICS base on a Cygwin system and tries to build it.

What program did you use to extract everything out of the tar file?

If you're going to build EPICS using Cygwin, you should use the Cygwin version of tar to do that extraction, which will only convert the Unix line endings into DOS ones if your Cygwin installation is configured to use DOS line endings. In that configuration, the Cygwin C runtime library automatically does the right thing with line endings and e_flex should work properly without any changes.

Would it be possible to fix e_flex so this does not happen?

I have developed a fix, but I'm reluctant to commit it since I believe the problem was really due to operator error.

Is this reasonable?
