Oh, don't do that. Heed what you have read - CVS expects the files to have LF-only line endings, and you could confuse it by changing things. Does CVS work on files that it creates? For example, in one of these directories that it creates, create a new file and check it in. If that works OK, then there may be a problem with the files you've copied over. If it doesn't work, then it's your CVS executable. A simple binary copy of the repository should work fine. If you're using FTP, make sure you force binary mode. - -- Jim Hyslop Dreampossible: Better software.
