I think that CVS is still using the same file format used by RCS,
even though it no longer uses the RCS executables to do its work.
I also think that the RCS file should always follow the Unix
convention for a newline, i.e. use the single character \n, even
on DOS and Windows systems.
In contrast the work file should always use the "native" newline
convention, i.e. \r\n on DOS and Windows.
Are these statements true? Is this documented anywhere?
Thanks,
Steve

There is nothing so practical as a good theory. Comments are by me,
