[Stins, D. <DR...@Zi...>]

Phil,
Yes and no. It has to do with:
For example, when it=92s working between a Unix repository and a Windows =
or
Macintosh working copy, it converts file line endings appropriately for e=
ach
platform. For example,
Unix convention is to use a linefeed (LF) only, whereas Windows expects a
carriage return/linefeed
(CRLF) sequence at the end of each line. Thus, the files in a working cop=
y
on a Windows machine
have CRLF endings, but the files in a working copy of the same project on=
 a
Unix machine have LF
endings (the repository itself is always stored in LF format).
And CVS also expand keywords like:
$Revision$
Also when these are accidentally created in binaries. This will give
problems at any operating system.
With best regards,
Dick Stins

I take it that this was the issue with nt cvs - I checked out the cvs to
another linux machine .... no worries with the images for me.
