Emacs certainly doesn't have > any problems with Unix EOLs, and most modern development tools don't > have such problems either. Personally, I don't like having a mix of Unix and DOS EOLs. The standard solution with many other programs is to store text files with Unix EOLs in the CVS and to provide a .zip file for Windows and DOS created which has CRLF line endings for text files. A disadvantage is that we have both a .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2) and a .zip file, but we have two advantages, namely that the CVS sources have consistent line endings, and the Windows user gets proper line endings too. Note that .zip archives are normally preferred by Windows and MSDOS users. BTW, there are some binary files which aren't tagged as binary in the CVS: lisp/toolbar/back_arrow.pbm lisp/toolbar/fwd_arrow.pbm mac/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/Emacs.icns msdos/emacs.ico msdos/emacs.pif And some files have CRLF without a need -- at least I can't see a reason to have them: MISC-DIC/cangjie-table.b5 MISC-DIC/cangjie-table.cns These files are accidentally tagged as binary but they aren't: lisp/toolbar/diropen.xpm lisp/toolbar/lc-*.xpm lisp/toolbar/reply-*.xpm Werner
