[rkward-devel] script file corrupted when moved to Windows

[Horace Tso]

meik, "corrupted" means I couldn't open it with Tinn-R, nor with other text editors in Windows. 

Mounting and unmounting could be a problem as I always just naively pull the thing out of the box when the copying is done, often out of hurry.

The thumb drive seems OK, based on the report of DOS' chkdsk.

what exactly does "corrupted" mean? can this "corrupted" file then still be 
opened under linux?

as a hunch i'd say a) you didn't unmount the drive properly, b) the drive is 
defective, or c) UTF-8 and/or line ending characters are to blame, but this 
wouldn't affect chkdsk, i assume. however, you could try changing both 
(settings -> configure editor -> open/save) to be sure.
