If the files are checked in in 'Microsoft format' on the Unix boxes, you must never
attempt to subsequently
check them out from a microsoft box as it will get very confused.... (It will get lots
of <CR><CR><LF> pairs
and attempt to double the number of lines in the source file).
Why not just use the microsoft client, which will strip the extra <CR> characters out,
and put them back in again?
Much of the same caveats exist re: sharing over samba as sharing over NFS, only worse
(samba has this habit of attempting
to convert text files itself unless you stop it...)
