I also brought it up (NT40) with no problem (once i had things
set up correctly) using B17.1. I have not observed a problem
with \n\r, what i put in is what i get out. If the original
file had \r\n, then the ,v file has \n for the headers, and
keeps the \n\r for my stuff, when i check it out it still has
the \r\n. If the original had only \n, then it too is preserved.

What drives me crazy is that when i "od -c" a file that has \r\n,
the output only shows the \n. Also true of od -x, this seems a
severe bug and i would prefer od to open with binary mode.
