How many years have the various operating systems been doing their own 
thing with regard to what marks the end of a line?  Can we agree on 
something yet, please, for the love of bog?  I really don't feel that 
I'm asking for too much, here, it not being 1985 anymore and all.

hatefully,
--s.

p.s. Yes, iTunes -- exporting files that vi/awk/et al. on the same 
bedamned machine sees as two extremely long lines, and that only because 
one of the MP3s contained a comment which had a linefeed in it -- I'm 
looking at you.
