(Side point: You have your 0d and your 0a backwards; the Unix line ending is U+000A, and the Windows default is U+000D U+000A.) How are you going to make people change? What are you going to make them change to? Who controls this standard, and how do you convince all OSes to comply with it? ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
