OS X is a bit schitzoid in that the Aqua things use the Mac newline (carriage return, 015) and the Unixy things use the Unix newline (012). They generally do a decent job interacting with each other but vim and XEmacs need to get a clue. vim at least tries to take a stab at auto-detecting what newline style is being used but it thinks a file with mac newlines is a DOS formatted file (015 012). They couldn't go that extra inch to see if the 015 is followed by a 012. XEmacs doesn't even try at all... at least I haven't found the variable to flip to make it try. Oddly enough I haven't had an issue lately with transfering text around between different machines. I guess after 10 years of fairly ubiquitous Interneting things are finally learning how to play nice with others. -- Michael G Schwern schwern@xxxxx.xxx http://www.pobox.com/~schwern Just call me 'Moron Sugar'. http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05182002.shtmlThere's stuff above here
