Probably you tried with cmd.exe (or however it's called) and not with
command.com.

[X] Done.

JFTR, this is what I did (I hope it's correct):

- $ cvs admin -kb make.bat
  $ cvs update -A make.bat

- Convert to DOS line terminators

- Do some (whitespace) changes (else CVS doesn't notice the change).

- Commit the file.

Frank, could you verify if it works for Win 9x (command.com) again?

When flagged as binary, Emacs should treat it as a DOS file and insert
the appropriate line terminators.

Bye, Reiner.
