Eric, You and Tom are correct. But, so is Rugxulo. Is it a problem?
As far as I know, only three programs every touch the LSM files. FDNPKG, FDINST and FDIMPLES. Other than install and remove, I don’t think FDNPKG & FDINST do anything with them. FDIMPLES uses them along with other files and data to create the listings, groups, installed state, upgrade state, blah blah blah. But, it does not care which type of line endings the file uses. As a side note on this issue, there are many dos2unix programs out there. But, last time I checked (many years ago) very few unix2dos versions. But alas, this is not an issue either. Just pipe a file through the V8Power Tools “vstr” program. It cares not what style file uses but outputs CRLF. It does not use any I/O buffering. So, it is not super fast. But, it can also strip out blank lines, pull indentation, do simple search and replace, change case, etc. But, a simple make into DOS line endings is as easy as “type oldfile.lsm | vstr >newfile.lsm” Jerome ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
