Not really an issue I can do anything about. --lf doesn't either - it's vanilla CVS servers that suffer the corruption issues (back when I first started using CVS we managed to trash an entire project by someone doing that - took me 2 days to recover everything and were still finding the odd corruption issue weeks later). Wanting to handle such files is such a rare case anyway then it's not really an issue. Software that runs on windows will handle cr/lf because that's how windows works.. it's a pretty rare case that anything will actually require these options - they're there for those that need them though. It's probably more likely that you'd need to use -k+D on a unix server to preserve a DOS file than go the other way around. Tony
