Unfortunately not. Here is a session showing the problem: $ /bin/rm CHANGES $ cvs up CHANGES U CHANGES $ cat -v CHANGES | head -1 ****************************************** $ /bin/rm CHANGES $ perl -e "system 'cvs up CHANGES';" U CHANGES $ cat -v CHANGES | head -1 ******************************************^M As you can see I get ^M at the end of the lines (all lines - here just first shown). This does not happen with all repositories, though. I have tried looking at the CHANGES,v file in the repository, and there are no ^M characters in there. Also, as you can see, this does not happen when call cvs directly on the command line. So the repository seems OK. It must be a perl issue(?) I have verified that it is the same version of cvs that I run directly in the shell and via perl. I have tried to reinstall the entire cygwin (from installer 2.194.2.22). I cannot get newer versions of perl than 5.6.1-2. How do I get 5.7 or 5.8 that you mention? /Peter Andersen -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
