When you have a file developed on a system that follows a different new-line convention. I haven't seen a file that big, but I'm sadly used to seeing humanly large files display as single lines. Of course if getLine/hGetLine accept *any* of CR, LF, CR+LF as end-of-line (as opposed to using the platform native convention), there's no problem. That's a darned good idea anyway. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
