Quoting Phil Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: My point though was that it appears that the format of the file has recently changed, as I used to double-click to open in notepad, but it's not very pleasant in notepad now. I've always thought of it as unix line endings anyway, but the occasional

I don't have a problem with lines ending with just a LF, if that is the intention and it is consistent. If most developers are on an OS where this is the native format, then I guess that may make sense. But there certainly seems to have been a change fairly recently. Maybe it doesn't matter
