Plus anyone doing that level of lowlevel work would know to run dos2unix on the source tree so would never hit the issue. 99.9% of people simply will never hit this problem. For those 0.1% they're pretty much treating cygwin as a separete OS anyway and should either be considering using unix via vmware/colinux/ssh anyway, or need to properly to treat cygwin as a completely separate environment with its own tools and use the cvs supplied with cygwin. As it is cvsnt on windows is a windows application and continue to obey the windows rules. If someone wants to port cvsnt to cygwin that's up to them of course.. I'm sure it's possible. Tony
