Re: Checking out To Unix over Mapped Drive CR/LF

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for your suggestions.

We currently use gcc on all our UNIX platforms with the exception of
Itanium (aCC) so that wouldn't be a problem. [Although some older tags
use native compilers]

This is the bit that will cause a few problems. We need it to dynamically
switch for a variety of files (License files, configurations files, and we have
a ksh environment on our PCs etc). Added to that we have a load of tags on the
product (over 2,000 - 50+ active) so it would be a bit of an overhead to do this
on all the files :-(

[Useful History: This is a repository that was previously in MKS SI 7 and we
have had to do a set of home crafted conversions to go MKS to CVS and then used
the supplied tool to go onto Subversion - hence the masses of history etc
(since 1989)]

Thanks again for taking the time to reply to my post.
