If you've already found this answer, then ignore this email. I found this out when dealing with cvs setup. DOS and Windows created text files indicate the end of a line with a CR/LF combo. Linux indicates it with simply a LF. I dunno if there are simple translators out there, I'm sure that a simple perl script or batch file could fix it, depending on which platform you're on. cvs does this for you transparently. You might be able to setup a cvs style repository so that this translation gets done automatically. However, if you're not working with source code, cvs will be like crushing an ant with a sledge hammer. Lemme know what you end up doing as I may soon be seeing some of this myself. -- Blue skies...
