Could I ask people for a timeout on this issue here? Not only are line ending characters one of the Threads From Hell on this list (along with Performance issues and Favorite Editors (which often is tied to Line Ending Characters)), we now have reached the stage where some contributors have started getting a bit personal in their arguments. I'm preparing a longer position statement on line ending characters and will post it tomorrow. In the meantime, could we start winding this discussion down again? There must be more than 200 printable characters in MacPerl, why do we always have to fight about two nonprintable characters? :-) Matthias ----- Matthias Neeracher <neeri@iis.ee.ethz.ch> http://www.iis.ee.ethz.ch/~neeri "I'm set free to find a new illusion" -- Velvet Underground ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
