I want to point out that POSIX only knows about text files which end with a LF newline. Otherwise it is not a text file. (I think Stallman and emacs joke on this by allowing something else, iirc from before Y2K when i shortly used it, and, funnily, from some thread on another ML just last week or so, where it was claimed that this could have roots in emacse not rooting in UNIX.) That is (sorry for that) "3.387 Text File" is a "file that contains characters organized into zero or more lines. The lines do not contain NUL characters and none can exceed {LINE_MAX} bytes in length, including the <newline> character". And "3.185 Line" is a "sequence of zero or more non-<newline> characters plus a terminating <newline> character". Crystal clear thus (:)). P.S.: numbers are from Draft 4 of upcoming POSIX standard. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
