RE: [rtl] A little of the subject -- But I need help
I just tried it. That's correct, at least for 2.91.66 and I believe all "earlier" versions too. IIRC, '\r' is defined as "white-space" and should be equivalent to a space.

Re: [rtl] A little of the subject -- But I need help
Hi Thomas, Heres what I found about CVS and CR/LF in Win/DOS in the "How to store binary files" node of the cvs info file: There are two issues with using CVS to store binary files. The first is that CVS by default convert line endings between the canonical form in which they are stored in the repository (linefeed only), and the form appropriate to the operating system in use on the client (for example, carriage return followed by line feed for Windows NT). It looks like CVS on the Win/DOS machine adds those ^M's as it receives the files, and strips them before committing. So, as long as you don't transfer files directly between the the Win/Dos machines and unix machines (ie. ftp, mail, copy, etc.), you should be OK. I have been using CVS on a linux box for some time, and just recently added some windows users. We haven't had any problems with ^M's. I just made sure that the original files in the repository didn't have them to begin with. I hope that info is correct for your version of CVS.

Re: [rtl] A little of the subject -- But I need help
If I remember correctly, in the newer WinCVS versions, there is an option: Admin-preferences tab which gives you the option of checking out ASCII files with the Unix LF. Check the box. I believe that there is a more complete answer to this at http://www.cvshome.org. I hope that this helps. If it doesn't, consider sending follow up emails to the cvs mailing lists also listed in the website above. -Edgar -- [rtl] --- To unsubscribe: echo "unsubscribe rtl" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] OR echo "unsubscribe rtl Your_email" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For more information on Real-Time Linux see: http://www.rtlinux.org/rtlinux/
