It seems to be. See below.

Here is what I get on my Fedora Core 7 system, current gawk:

$  printf "HI\r\n"| ./gawk -v BINMODE=rw '{print}'|od -Ad -c -toC
0000000   H   I  \r  \n
        110 111 015 012
0000004

I am bcc-ing the Cygwin maintainer.

In the meantime, I think I will tighten up that code anyway.

Thanks,

Arnold
