CVS is smart about line endings. Text files are stored in the repository in Unix form (LF only) but are reproduced on the client in the form appropriate to the client (i.e. CR/LF on Windoze). > - Is setting up the SSH stuff easier to do for Unix or NT?

You DO NOT need WinCVS on windoze, especially if you have Cygwin, in fact, I recommend against WinCVS with my people because it's a bulky GUI that just gets in the way of a proper understanding of CVS! -Peter -- Peter A.
