Why?

This is for Linux compilation, using Windows GUI tools which can 
handle Linux line endings, so the LF/CRLF format doesn't matter to me.

It would be tedious and error-prone for me to have to edit on the 
Windows box, check in my changes, update on the Linux box, and only 
then try compiling.

But, why does everything work on the Windows command line using the 
TortoiseCVS-installed CVSNT and TortoisePlink, but not when done 
through TortoiseCVS's tools in Windows Explorer? It's not the 
"working cross-platform" which triggers the problem, but using the 
tools through Windows Explorer/TortoiseCVS.

Again, I have the whole shebang working if I add the classic security 
hole "-pw myPassword" option to the SSH parameters, but not if I 
leave it out and expect to get the password dialog box.


Any thoughts?


Thanks,
Dan
