It's harder than that because cvs tends to work in groups of files not just single ones... I've looked at it once or twice and it's decidedly non-trivial to implement something like that. You can always use '-kb' to update a file to avoid the linefeed - Binary files don't get it - you just then have a file with unix linefeeds (which may be better or worse depending on what you want it for). That said, 95% of the time it's not an issue because most text files end in linefeed anyway. Tony
