1. The Famous Dos Unix Carriage Return Line Feed Conflict (FDUCKFC)
Of course, to make things really interesting, you need to throw some
Macs into the mix. Unix variants use newlines to end lines.
Dos/Windows uses newline and carriage return. Mac editors just use
carriage return.
Much of the time I'm on a windows box editing files on my Linux box
using emacs. (Decent GUI interface to emacs when not in a terminal)
Emacs auto-detects the line endings and adjusts accordingly. There's
also an option to Samba to auto-translate the newlines in the files
depending on which client is reading them. Never cared for using it
though, so I can't say how well it works.
