Right. I had this much. What I couldn't figure out was how the
check-crlf script could read the file. What I learned was that,
although the first argument to check-crlf is a directory name, you
_don't_ look in that directory to find the files to open; you just
assume them to be in the current working directory where your script
is running. Naturally, _after_ I learned that, I got your mail, and
saw that your Perl script did it right.
Thanks for the help/confirmation.

Well, I don't want to start a religious war here, but we find it
useful to check in binary files to CVS, even though the text-based
features don't apply to them (.doc, .gif, etc). In certain
well-defined cases, we even commit compiled output (.class, .jar). I
won't go into why; I don't want to upset anyone. It works for us,
and we're happy.
Thanks again.
