I agree with your spelling correction. But converting all newlines to
\n would be terrible. If you read a text file, it will crunch
everything into a single, huge blurb of a line. For example, this
snippet from a `ktrace fortune':
3563 fortune CALL read(0x3,0xc000,0x2000)
3563 fortune GIO fd 3 read 8192 bytes
"!07/11 PDP a ni deppart m'I !pleH
%
(1) Alexander the Great was a great general.
(2) Great generals are forewarned.
(3) Forewarned is forearmed.
(4) Four is an even number.
(5) Four is certainly an odd number of arms for a man to have.
(6) The only number that is both even and odd is infinity.
Therefore, Alexander the Great had an infinite number of arms.
...would then look like:
3563 fortune CALL read(0x3,0xc000,0x2000)
3563 fortune GIO fd 3 read 8192 bytes
"!07/11 PDP a ni deppart m'I !pleH\n%\n(1) Alexander the Great was a\

Do you think that's better? :-)
