Some days it is better for me to read my mail from newest to
oldest - or at least read through everything before
replying.
Well stated. I now wish I used a different example that
notepad - although that is indeed a good one, since every
Windows user has it and it is frequently a default in
Explorer.
Hopefully, the gentleman maintaining the svn repository
(Edward L Fox) will talk to the gentleman who properly
marked the files in CVS.
Well, well, well... I prop-setted most of the file that I recognized.
If you find anything wrong or prop missing, plz contact me.
The bad news for everyone is, after prop-setting the files, everyone
has to download the prop-setted files again. That will cost quite a
long time.
I have also had no problems with the CVS distribution
That's because CVS doens't support that features at all and every text
file is forced to use native linebreaks.

Another match on the oil - the patch utility I use on windows gets very
unhappy if the source file and patch file use different line endings.
There isn't an option to alter line endings when saving attachments in
TBird (that I have found). Fighting the natural order of things on a
particular platform is a recipe for unending pain. I would have thought
any source control system would Do The Right Thing wrt line endings by
default, since the vast majority of files it will contain would be text
based.
2ps worth.
