I don't think the problem comes from the \r\n compared to \n. Indeed, even if the files are empty (e.g. creating a file with touch), I still have the problem.
But it might come from the end of file caracter : CTRL-Z (DOS) or CTRL-D (Unix).
You told me that Cygwin is mounted in binary mode: I didn't mount anything. I only use my existing drives on NT. Should I mount something with some options to avoid these problems ?
I am going to try the ClearCase Unix mode if you think that is a file format issue.
BUT still I don't understand something, if the files were created with \r\n I should be able to see the difference in notepad. And I CAN NOT. Theses files ares editable in notepad and they have the genuine format.
PS: Is there a way to look at the contents of my file in hexa mode. And more precisely at end of file caracter ? I used to use debug for that but I don't know how to use it anymore.
Still looking,
Laurent
