Dear Kind GNU Programmers, First, thank you for all the fine gnu software, which I use to good effect every day.
Also, I often use sort (textutils) 2.0.21 on the windows 2000 platform, and was today surprised by this behavior: It works the way I expect if I use this command line: sort fil > fil2 The output file (fil2) has each line terminated with 0D 0A (= cr lf ) But if I use this command line: sort d:\fil > fil2 The output file (fil2) has each line terminated with 0D 0D 0A (= cr cr lf ) The bad behaviour also appears if I use a relative path, like ".\fil" My input file (fil) has each line terminated by 0D 0A (= cr lf ) Thanks, Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work phone: 412-201-6439 Dialcomm: 587-6439 Personal Cell Phone: 412-443-1776 GE Engineering Services 1600 West Carson Street Suite 4 Pgh PA 15219 _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
