Which Windows IDE is it? Emacsen (gnu or X, any platform) are pretty agnostic (ie: accommodating) wrt. line-ends. A shame some people never get to like emacs; there's also this very nice VC mode specifically for CVS, pcl-cvs, which is my primary GUI interface to CVS.
On Windows, I use also the command line (cygwin) and occasionally WinCVS, TortoiseCVS, tkcvs, or jCVS. WinCVS can be told to behave globally (per installation) to treat 'text' Unix-style or DOS-style. For me, this setting depends on which other CVS clients must be used in sandboxes on that machine, since CVS clients are rather unforgiving about the administrative files (in CVS subdirs in the sandbox). TortoiseCVS is becomming popular, I guess mainly because it's easy to get going for users that loathe command lines, and it's easy on the CVS admin wrt. support because it's 'just there' where people need it (it works as a shell extension to Explorer), and comes with a ssh client integrated. But text files (the administrative files, actually) must be DOS style for TortoiseCVS to work.

Hmmm - if it's "supposed to just happen", then that may explain it. Specifically, I am checking in DOS format files from a Unix format environment, so I suspect that my (Unix format compiled) CVS client just assumes that I have Unix format files and does no conversion, as it would not need to, ordinarily. Your discussion of CVS internals in this regard support this theory, if I read it correctly. Then the answer would be to use WinCVS after all, which would canonicalize the line ends for me, yes? /|/|ike _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
