And yet, we're still speaking about systems where the only difference is a character or two. On a record oriented filesystem, you MUST convert text files to actual separate records (lines), or anything that deals with text (such as more or less all editors, all compilers, all diffing tools, all... the list goes on) is basically rendered worthless. I guess that monotone will stay on Unix/Windows/MacOS only. Cheers, Richard ----- Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.
