Some days it is better for me to read my mail from newest to
oldest - or at least read through everything before
replying.
Well stated. I now wish I used a different example that
notepad - although that is indeed a good one, since every
Windows user has it and it is frequently a default in
Explorer.
Hopefully, the gentleman maintaining the svn repository
(Edward L Fox) will talk to the gentleman who properly
marked the files in CVS.
Well, well, well... I prop-setted most of the file that I recognized.
If you find anything wrong or prop missing, plz contact me.
The bad news for everyone is, after prop-setting the files, everyone
has to download the prop-setted files again. That will cost quite a
long time.
I have also had no problems with the CVS distribution
That's because CVS doens't support that features at all and every text
file is forced to use native linebreaks.
