Package: tetex-bin
Version: 1.0.7+20000807-5
Severity: normal
Hi,
(nearly) all (La)TeX programs that I tested work quite well with
sources that have DOS style line endings.
The one exception I encountered so far is makeindex. Somehow it
gets confused, if the Index Style file (.ist) which is used as in
makeindex -s $(Project).ist $(Project)
has DOS CR/LF line endings.
Fix is probably simple... ;-)
Greetings,
Ulf

I don't know exactely when it was fixed, but now makeindex can definitely
work with dos line endings:
$ cp `kpsewhich gind.ist` .
$ unix2dos gind.ist
$ latex ....
$ makeindex -s ./gind.ist texput
This is makeindex, version 2.15 [TeX Live 2012] (kpathsea + Thai support).
Scanning style file ./gind.ist.............done (13 attributes redefined, 3 ignored).
Scanning input file texput.idx....done (2 entries accepted, 0 rejected).
Sorting entries....done (2 comparisons).
Generating output file texput.ind....done (13 lines written, 0 warnings).
Output written in texput.ind.
Transcript written in texput.ilg.

Closing this bug (5 digits!)
Best wishes
