For all that, I think something consistent is needed. If in ones archive, you want unix line endings, but have contributors on older macos machines, and on windows machines, then you have to deal with toolchains on each platform being different. (I know of 3 different ASCII line ending formats that have been in widespread use). The one common point of interchange is the RCS. I think it has to be there that the solution is hooked in, whether its native to the RCS or not. Makefiles are not sufficient. Rob
