I must admit that I stopped thinking about the CR/LF issue shortly
after starting to use the free PFE (Programmer's File Editor) from
Alan Philips on my PC's. Handles DOS vs UNIX text files nicely.
See http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe for details, if unknown.
As long as the PC filesystem does not indicate text/binary attributes
(which my primary Operating System MPE/iX does), it seems to me that
all on-the-fly conversions are somewhat tricky and potentially risky.
Lars.
