Yes, it does. To prevent this, you have to checkin everything in
'binary' mode (-kb). Every other option (-k...) performs this
conversion.

Notes:
1. To be more precise: CVS does not do this conversion; it lets the
   C run-time do this.

2. If you use CVS on Cygwin, and Cygwin is set to use Unix line endings
   (which I do not recommend, as it results in other problems), then
   there will be no conversion. Note, however, that some of the outputs
   of CVS look ugly in this case, too.

HTH,
   Spiro.
