[] Standard files on the ST end each line with a CR and then also a LF. So does MS-DOS, as far as I know. UNIX uses just a LF, without a CR. My version of microEMACS has many sections that go like: #if AtST ... #else /* UNIX */ ... #endif and one of the differences is just those line ends. BUT - it will read a file right either way, so if you have a UNIX file on the ST you can fix it by reading it into umacs and then writing it. The report of file length inside umacs is also adjusted to reflect the space it will take on the disk when saved, on that system. Note: that's MY version of umacs, not to be confused with 3.7 and the like, which are separate branches on the tree of evolution of David Conroy's original program. - Moshe Braner
