I don't know if the problem I'm having is considered a feature or a bug. I'll report it and let you decide. I'm using CVS on a Win2K PC, connecting to a CVS repository on a UNIX/SunSolaris box. The code our team writes must be cross platform compatible. Some files in the repository are very specific to Windows such as the Visual C++ workspace/project (make) files. The problem I have is the that the version of CVS distributed with the Cygwin 1.3.1 pulls over all the files in a "Unix" format - (NL) instead of (CRNL). Visual C++ does not recognize the project(.dsp) files as valid and we cannot compile any code. NTEmacs (v20.7.1) reports the (.dsp) files (and all files pulled over by CVS) as being in "Unix" format. Indeed Notepad confirms this by showing the file as one continuous long line - all the carriage returns (CR) are missing. My work around to the problem was to download the Win32 version of CVS 1.11 from http://www.cvshome.org. That version of CVS maintains the (CRNL) for the files and Visual C++ is able to understand and compile the project files. Note that although the cvshome.org version of CVS also reports v1.11, it is a (client) only version, whereas the Cygwin reports it is a (client/server) version and is more than 2 times larger than the cvshome.org version. Thanks for all the great GNU products. The world is a better/bearable place because of them. --------------------------------------------- Version output from CygWin's 1.3.1 CVS binary --------------------------------------------- bash-2.05$ hide_cvs_orig_unix_ver.exe -v Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server) Copyright (c) 1989-2000 Brian Berliner, david d `zoo' zuhn, Jeff Polk, and other authors CVS may be copied only under the terms of the GNU General Public License, a copy of which can be found with the CVS distribution kit.
