    Tomas,

    I do not use the MSVC editor. I use UltraEdit. UltraEdit respects files with
    CR/LF (Unix) and LF only (DOS/Windows).

    I do not have the tree right now, but there is something rare in the file that
    Jemery committed. It's not the CR/LF - LF question as already said in my first
    message.

    Jordi,
