How can I get Unix-style work files?

Top  Previous  Next

CS-RCS assumes the work files are manipulated by Windows tools and automatically apply the Windows line-break convention to work files. This means the UNIX-style <lf> is converted to <cr><lf>.


To eliminate this conversion for all files in the project:

1.

Open the project Properties dialog box.

2.

Select the Advanced tab.

3.

Set the Unix work files option to True.

To eliminate this conversion for specific file types:

1.

Open the CS-RCS Properties dialog box.

2.

Select the File Types tab.

3.

Define the desired file type.

4.

Click Edit.

The Edit Extension dialog box appears.

5.

In the New Files Type section, click Binary.

6.

In the Difference Analysis Tool section, click User defined.

7.

Click Browse.

8.

Select CSDiff.exe.

9.

Click Open.

The Difference Analysis Tool is defined as: "C:\Program Files\ComponentSoftware\CS-RCS\System\CSDiff.exe".

10.

Check Use long names.

11.

Click OK.

Note: Existing RCS files are handled according to their current settings and you must verify that they are defined as Binary.

Warning: Many Windows tools handle files containing the UNIX-style line-break sequence incorrectly. Use this option only if you wish to process the work files with Unix tools.
