Paul:

It's listed as a bug, but it's not what you might think.  To solve the
problem the way most folks want would require parsing the entire
source file.  If you find multiple EOL characters of different styles
you'd have to normalize the set (which requries user input in some
fashion).

It's a bug I've seen for years anytime I've had to move data across
platforms.  There are a variety of solutions (dos2unix, unix2dos) out
there for it.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
