I've noticed but wasn't sure what to do about it. In most cases it
doesn't bother me except in one major case. If you try to use xxgdn to
trace you program the debugger gets all wacked out if you have DOS EOLs
in the content. Makes it a REAL pain.   :-\

That is what I assumed was doing it.

It attempts to merge the 2 files into one. If the changes you have made
are too extensive for it to figure out itself it comments what is
different between the 2 versions and lets you fix it up manually.

If you are going to be doing editing it is always best to do an update
just before you start to work so your source is as fresh as possible.
