[PATCH] cygutils:conv.c: Prevent truncation of file if 0xFF is encountered

Mon Apr 15 14:03:00 GMT 2002

> Hello ;)
>> Today a colleague of mine was struck by a bug of dos2unix/unix2dos
> utilities i.e. if the code encounters 0xFF in the file being processed
> it erronously thinks that this is the EOF and stops processing. The
> result is that the original file is truncated to the position of the
> 0xFF character.
>> As to why we have such characters in source file - our mother language

>> A patch is attached to fix this behaviour.
