What you suggest is not enough. You have to tweak a couple of other places as well. I don't like having to mess around in token recognition code to account for different eol styles. With my proposal I was trying to abstract this away and make the eol style problem orthogonal to parsing: first we convert to a "normal form" and then we operate on it. Should we find some files in 'mac' eol-style (in Emacs parlance) then it would be trivial to adapt. Could you be more explicit about what you do not like about this? Regards, Fede
