Windows produces the CR LF combo. carriage return (13) + line feed (10).
Linux only uses the LF for end of lines. Mac used to only use CR. But I believe this has changed to LF since OSX is a UNIX based OS. The brief history is that these commands were used to control the old line printers back in the day. (70's) Line feed would advance the paper one line up (meaning to the next line). Carriage return only returns the print carriage to the start position and did not advance the paper. /end Friday Trivial Wil Genovese One man with courage makes a majority. -Andrew Jackson A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
