If I recall correctly, POSIX says that a line of text is not a line of text unless it ends in a proper line ending marker. I'm unsure of the details, here, but I am sure that when, a few years ago, I dug deeply into this, I concluded that the last line of a UNIX text file absolutely has to end with an LF for the line to be unequivocally part of the file. -tih -- Most people who graduate with CS degrees don't understand the significance of Lisp.
