actually, _I_ wrote that
and you're waaaaaaay to hung up on standards

Mac finally smartened up and now use 0x0A

and exactly what difference does it make editors should read any
kind of EOL and either retain what they get, or write in a consistant
(selectable) manner (my editors do...well except for the brain dead
stuff that MS writes)

what decisions? at it's POSSIBLE that maybe 0x0d 0x0a should be a
blank line?? all the other decisions treat lines "correctly"

AS I SAID WHEN THIS ALL STARTED.... TOOLS THAT DO NOT TREAT ALL THE
LINE ENDINGS EQUIVALENTLY HAVE AN ARCHITECTURE/DESIGN FLAW.
you seem to want to take issue with the. I don't care HOW many
program you show that have architecture/design flaws, it doesn't
alter the fact that they're WRONG!!

it's only a problem really, because Microsoft has had their head up
their ass ever since they started releasing software.

nobody, and we've been trying to tell you (but you just don't "get
it") that there are editors that will give you very nice single
spaced lines no matter what EOL crap gets thrown at them. Except for
the editor I kinda have to use in Visual Studio, ALL my editors
treat 0x0A; 0x0D 0x0A; and 0x0D as "line markers" on input (for
all I know, they also accept 0x0A 0x0D.
none of the screen images are all joined together nor double spaced.
