Putting it this way I agree. To be honest, I was 50% thinking about
something else.

The 50% where I was actually thinking about this topic I'm afraid I let my
personal grouchiness over this whole linend business creep in. :-) My
personal opinion, for what it's worth, is just every one sit down, agree
on one line-end, and be done with it. And maybe then they can call this
character a LINEEND, instead of "carriage return" or something similarly
absurd.

I pontificated too soon, anyway. I'm so used to batch-converting all my
text files back and forth between 3 OS's that I never thought of it as a
problem anymore.
