Sorry, never heard about that options and never researched to this
direction.
I'm using either WinCVS or a UNIX (SCO Openserver) command line client
which generates UNIX style files by default.

Best regards,

Thanks, Christian, that should help my WinCVS users... any ideas about how
to handle this using the CVSNT command line?

I look a peek in the source code, and it looks like there are some
command-line options (--crlf and --lf) that might help?
