I wonder why ....
I cannot create a 1 byte file with
vi
cat
microemacs
But all of these stick a newline character in without being asked!
With cat it is possible, at least on my Sparc.
At the risk of starting another vi vs Emacs war: you can do it with
GNU Emacs. Now enter Rohit with "Crisp can do that ..." :-)
