Anyway, I checked Bo comment about this and indeed it looks like a WinCvs bug. In fact, if I issue "cvs update -p" from within the WinCvs graph window, I get the garbled file, but if I issue the same command from the command line I get a the correct file with just a CRLF appended at the end. I guess the trailing CRLF it's not avoidable, is it? Alberto Barbati PS to Mitch Davis: when I wrote "cvs -p update" I meant "cvs update -p". Sorry for the confusion.
