[omniORB] GCC-2.95.1 error: stray '\' in program

[Smith, Norman]

We've had some strange behavior due to differences with line termination
characters between NT and unix (i.e. <CR><LF> vs. <LF> on unix), such as
when trying to use CVS on NT, but the repository is on a unix mapped drive.
We are using WinCVS on NT as a GUI front-end to CVS, so I don't know if the
problem lies within WinCVS or CVS itself. The extra carriage return would be
a hidden character, and would always be at the end of the line (i.e. past
the '\' at the end of each line).

Perhaps this is the source of your grief.

I am replying to my own post, because I think this happens when I download
the
source distribution with CVS. If I use the "archive" file from the
snapshots, the
files seems to be ok.
It must be some funky behavior of CVS under NT, I guess.

Any help would be appreciated, becuase at the end I'd like to use CVS.
