First the *government* sends *me* a check, now the first glimmer of hope appears in solving the heretofore-assumed-NP-complete text file line ending problem which has plauged computer science since prehistoric times. Man I love living in the future. Thank you Eric for your doggedness in getting this implemented and (hopefully) accepted. Here's hoping this can default to "on" upstream. -- Gary R.
