Just a clarification that today's Macs are unix systems so it's only Windows files that can be problematic because they use both a CR and LF character to denote each end of line while everybody else uses just one character. Prior to OSX the Mac used a CR only but since OSX they have adopted the unix way of using just a LF character.

Hello,

Usually, such problems occur from Mac, Windows or Unix conversions. So if those files are produced by a Windows or Unix system you'll see the end of line markers when using a unix based system. I'm new to Mac so don't know of what is available. A google search shows a perl script but I'm sure there'll be other ways.

Hi all.

I find that in reading braille books/files on my Mac with a braille display I get what look like mj or j at the end of lines which I assume represent new lines and/or return. This happens with most braille files i get, including NLS' web braille. It is very distracting! I've been reading in Text Edit. Is there a way to keep these from showing or a better application to read braille in with a braille display?

Thanks.
