OK, so emacs, the Great Satan of Text Editors, (cf. www.theregister.co.uk)
can do mac line-ends. That's because it has too many features, including
the ability to run on Unix and Mac and Windows, so it has to be able to
figure out different line endings.
But how easy would it be to get, say, Sun to change thier version of
vi to do Mac line-endings? And grep, more, less, wc, awk, sed, and
all the other standard unix utilities?
Rather than change all these programs, wouldn't fixing netatalk be
a good idea?
Cheers,
Duncan.
