Subject:  major bug
 
Glenn,
 
I found a major bug in the RCS system today.
 
To make a long story short, I didn't convert gnu_diff enough and
it gags real bad when comparing two cr-lf files or a stream-lf file
to a cr-lf file.
 
It does nothing that the user sees but just gets confused and
stores the wrong stuff for delta info.
 
I have used microemacs on the vax and it makes stream files, so
my testing never uncovered it.
 
How should we disseminate this info to DECUS.
 
On the technical end, I need to find a way that gnu_diff and all the
other programs can work on stream-lf OR cr-lf files.
 
I'd appreciate your counsel on this pressing issue.  At this time,
my name is mud, or soon will be mud.
 
cheers,
 
rich
