Text files are text files -- editors are one of the things that process them. On a given system, editors should use the same line ending conventions as whatever else processes the file -- the *system's* line ending conventions. And note that there are more differences between system text file formats than just line ending conventions (on VMS, for example, standard text files have a binary line length for each line and no ending whatsoever). -Larry Jones Philistines. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
