Thanks Spiro, you may be on to something. BBEdit on the Mac lets you choose which type of line endings to use, and I have my default set to Unix. I've tried diff with some files which are definitely Unix endings and it's OK. However lots of my files have Mac endings :-(. They are probably based on files from the Bad Old Days before I used CVS. I'll try to convert them to Unix as I go through them.
