Issues retaining a DOS' file encoding when committing it into a UNIX repository

Hi,

I'm having trouble committing DOS text files into a UNIX repository. By UNIX repository I mean one that is stored on a UNIX box. When I commit DOS files into the repository I see that the ,v files gets saved in UNIX format. I'm running the smartCVS (professional) client from a Linux machine.

My working copy of the repository contains a mix of DOS and UNIX files. Not knowingly, I originally committed all files into the repository with the Text File Encoding in the Repository in ASCII mode. I later on changed the setting to Unicode (UTF-8). Removed the DOS files from the repository and tried committing them once again to the repository. When I look at the ,v file in the repository I still see that the files are stored in the UNIX format.

So in short, what do I need to do to ensure that DOS text files get committed into a UNIX repository from a UNIX client in its original DOS format, and that when I retrieve it on a UNIX OS, its DOS format is preserved?

Thanks in advance for any help
