About developing software across platforms of different types

To use a Linux or UNIX view on a Windows® host to access text files, you need an interop text-mode view. Before a VOB can be accessed from an interop text-mode view, the system administrator must enable the VOB for interop text-mode support.

If developers check in source files from views created on hosts running either Windows® software and Linux or UNIX software, consider creating your views in insert_cr or strip_cr text mode. The text modes change how a view manages line terminator sequences.
