That should work fine (and a good idea which I haven’t thought of :)
I map my work drive and add files from there.

Maybe i did not understand you. What if you download the whole project (tar.gz ;) and then open it from the local disk – is it fast?

I find it hard to believe that they would do a slowdown on purpose :)
And about Unix CR – I’ll check and get back to you. You may be surprised.

:) i don’t mind the download, it’s minor.
MS probably made it slower artificially – that’s the problem. And i suppose they’ll never add unix CR.

Oh no… don’t even try… It takes forever to load the files over the VPN. I only take a few dozen files, and until all of them are loaded I can make breakfast.

Also – I still need to make sure that it inserts “backslash N” appropriately (without “backslash R”).

So, is it strong enough to handle all the our project? Is it fast?
