Yes you are using CVSNT because you are using TCVS which include CVSNT for doing everything except displaying the pictures. Look in the TortoiseCVS folder, right click cvs.exe, look at the version tab. Regardless - the --lf option is being generated by TCVS+CVSNT, so your question belongs on the TCVS newsgroup. Finally - TCVS is designed to be used with CVSNT server, so I recommend that you install the latest stable CVSNT on your unix server (yes CVSNT runs on unix) and the latest stable TCVS on your client to obtain the best result. The --lf option has been known to cause repository corruption in the past when people accidentally checkin an LF only file from a windows client that assumes it is CR/LF. The "better" option is to mark the file as "unix line endings" with either "cvs add -ku file.ext" or "cvs up -ku file.ext; cvs ci -f file.ext" - however this only works with CVSNT server. On the TCVS newsgroup you will find this has been discussed in detail and people there will have the time and patience to go through it all with you including the options for CVS 1.x servers and CVSNT 2.x servers. That is why there are different newsgroups. Regards, Arthur Barrett
