Thanks! It seems to be just what I was looking for.

I used to use CodeWarrior on a Mac and liked it a lot, but don't have 
access to it now.

It is if you have an editor that will show them or search and replace 
them; unless I'm missing something, mine didn't.

Now that I have SciTE, I see a problem: for some reason all my files are 
being checked out with only LF line endings. I'm using the latest 
version of TortoiseCVS, which was supposed to handle line endings 
properly. I wonder what's up?

On the theory that it seemed to be working for the most part, I removed 
the stray CR that was in the two files indicated by Beman's checking 
program and checked them in. Let me know if this doesn't do the right thing.
