>No I completely understand your point but OpenVMS isn't a souvenir yet. Now, I haven't used it, and I don't know if portable EOL character would break something there, I gave 0.02$ worthless or not, but that system was much more used in 80s and 90s, even though we didn't see portable EOL character in Ada 83/95. I hope someone to explain this situation as end of line character in strings is useful.


	And how will this support, say, a file created under Linux, which is
being processed under Windows? One either has to be able to specify the EOL
convention for each file, convert the EOL convention before using the file,
or have the language attempt to determine the EOL convention at run-time
and make the suitable adjustments. In Python, a file opened for "text"
mode, running on Windows, has <lf> in text converted to <cr><lf> during
output -- on Linux, there is no real difference between text and binary,
<lf> is not expanded during output. And if one does not know the
convention, there is "universal newline" mode, which attempts to guess the
convention based upon what is found within the first few blocks of the
file.
