There's quite a lot of people with PEAR accounts who can't handle cvs, "pear install ./package.xml", writing meaningful commit messages, obeying format of files they edit (lf vs. crlf), and so on. Why should this particular issue be anything special? Hm, could people who use HomeSite for PEAR development raise your hands please? How do you save a file in it that: * doesn't end with "?>\r\n\r\n" * is not binary -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html
