I have not observed a problem with \n\r, what i put in is what i get out. If the original file had \r\n, then the ,v file has \n for the headers, and keeps the \n\r for my stuff, when i check it out it still has the \r\n. If the original had only \n, then it too is preserved. What drives me crazy is that when i "od -c" a file that has \r\n, the output only shows the \n. Also true of od -x, this seems a severe bug and i would prefer od to open with binary mode. -ernie - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
