I've been using the cvs from the CD V1.0 just fine with mounts in binary mode. Here is where you might get into problems: You have a source package that you use WinZip to extract and you have the auto cr/lf turned on. You then import that package into cvs. Cvs now has the \r\n line endings stored. You make changes, which change some of the source to \n line endings. When you do cvs commit, the delta becomes the entire file because every line in the file changed. Is this your problem? ===== --- Earnie Boyd: __Cygwin: POSIX on Windows__ Cygwin Newbies: __Minimalist GNU for Windows__ Mingw32 List: Mingw Home: __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
