Personally in my experience Notepad is the only windows program that
cares about the <cr><lf> thing when loading the file, edit.com will
load stuff properly, however it will save with the <cr><lf>, as will
Write (Wordpad) and any other Windows text editors. Wouldn't life be
better if MS had though about Unix text files when writting
software??? ;-)
