- Always modify files on the same platform you used to check them out. IOW, don't check out under Linux and edit the file under Windows. Be careful with Cygwin - it can be either a Linux-style line ending or a Windows-style line ending, depending on how you installed it. - Make sure your editor is configured to use the line-ending for the platform you used to check the files out. IOW, make sure your editor inserts CRLF under Windows, and plain LF under *NIX. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
