The diff went in fine in DOS, ugly but successful in Linux.
I have modified the diff a little, so it's not identical to what you have. The way it behaves for me is: 1. applies cleanly to DOS version 2. applies OK to float-only version(s) with messages about offset lines (expected) 3. applies cleanly to Linux if the cr/lf are fixed. This raises the question of how we handle newlines in CVS. Unless CVS has a way to fix newlines on-the-fly, we probably need to adopt the Linux newline standard for files and dif's (or the other, the point is to choose). As long as we package everything with zip, unpacking with the zip -a option will fix newlines for the local system.
