Hi,

today I wrote an email to tell two bugs
in the rcs in the Windows port.

For the second, the problem with substring
that are left after a check in, I can repeat the problem.

If I commit two version of a text file I
obtain by co a wrong file not like the committed.
I have noted this problems if file have a unix
end of line, that is a \n; I they have a Windows/DOS
end of line \r\n this problem seem not exists!

Suppose you start with this file a.txt (with unix eol):

 * Attached PL/SQL Libraries                         
   ----------
   * Name                                            VTF_MINORXML
   - Comments                                        
   * PL/SQL Library Source                           File
   * PL/SQL Library Location                         vtf_minorxml
   ----------
   * Name                                            VTF_STD61LIB
   - Comments                                        
   * PL/SQL Library Source                           File
   * PL/SQL Library Location                         VTF_std61lib
   ----------
   * Name                                            F6I_DSEFORMS_V2
   - Comments                                        
   * PL/SQL Library Source                           File
   * PL/SQL Library Location                         F6i_DSEForms_v2

and run the command:

ci -d -u -x,v "c:\rcsprove\a.txt" "c:\rcsprove\RCS\a.txt,v"

then relock the file:

co -M -l -x,v "c:\rcsprove\a.txt" "c:\rcsprove\RCS\a.txt,v"

change the a.txt with (with unix eol):

 * Attached PL/SQL Libraries                         
   ----------
   * Name                                            F6I_DSEFORMS_V2
   - Comments                                        
   * PL/SQL Library Source                           File
   * PL/SQL Library Location                         F6i_DSEForms_v2
   ----------
   * Name                                            VTF_MINORXML
   - Comments                                        
   * PL/SQL Library Source                           File
   * PL/SQL Library Location                         vtf_minorxml
   ----------
   * Name                                            VTF_STD61LIB
   - Comments                                        
   * PL/SQL Library Source                           File
   * PL/SQL Library Location                         VTF_std61lib

then I check in the second version:

ci -d -u -x,v "c:\rcsprove\a.txt" "c:\rcsprove\RCS\a.txt,v"

Now If I check it with rcsdiff:

rcsdiff --side-by-side --suppress-common-lines -x,v "c:\rcsprove\a.txt" 
"c:\rcsprove\RCS\a.txt,v"

Surprise, I obtain a different file:

RCS file: c:\rcsprove\RCS\a.txt,v
retrieving revision 1.2
diff --side-by-side --suppress-common-lines -r1.2 c:\rcsprove\a.txt
ile                                                           <
   * PL/SQL Library Location                         VTF_std  \    * PL/SQL 
Library Location                         VTF_std6
Exit code: 1

Even If I make a co of the file, the content is corrupt!

There is a bug? It is possible to automatically convert
a unix like text file into a windows-like text file
befor to check in?

Thanks in advance.

Davide.
