Aaron -
Thanks for the info. I truely appreciate any hints and advice you can give.
I tested your suggestion on my machine. Unfortunately, I am using and Win32
version of CVS. As a result the patch file it produces still retains the
Window line-endings. Any other suggestions?
At the moment, my development work is on the Win32 platform and so much of
my suggest code enhancements will be in that direction. I suppose that I
could write a script to run through and convert from DOS to Unix. I'll be
happy to do so if that is the prevailing wind for submitting patches.
Cheers!
