After running into a problem with differentiating line endings (a bug with sort, you can follow up my previous e-mail if more details are needed), I purpose an option (at least) to consider all line endings as one (Unix and Windows style, if not more)
It seems your email "fell between the cracks" and not replied to in many years. Sorry about that.
As for supporting both unix and windows style line-endings - this is not likely to be a built-in feature of gnu coreutils. Most environments where coreutils is used simply don't need it. However, It is very easy to convert one style to another, with utilities like "dos2unix", "mac2unix", "unix2dos", etc. As such, I'm closing this bug, but discussion can continue by replying to this thread. regards, - assaf
