Steve The Amiga does it correctly according to the ASCII standard … it uses LF as the end-of-line. All files I've ever seen from a PC uses CR on its own, which is not ASCII standard. From an article by one of the ASCII "inventors": CR: moves active print position to the first position on the _same_ line. LF: moves active print position to the same position on the line below _OR_, if sender and receiver agree, this can be the first position on a new line in which case ASCII character LF is called NL. The best, I guess, would be CR/LF, then there is need for "agreement" between both ends since both codes have their original meaning. UNIX uses LF alone. As for converting, there are several conversion utilities around on Fish disks (and maybe even here in the Amiga libraries) … or you could write your own in C, Basic or whatever .. it isn't difficult.
