No, they are not. Not when the client on Windows is set
to "unix". In that case, a submitted DOS file is stored
on the server (AIX in this case) as DOS (well, parts of
of the ,v file are DOS, anyway - the delta information
is unix format but the base file data is DOS) and not
translated when synced to any client using the "unix"
option, whether the client is on Windows or Unix.
