Hi,

	I don't understand what the big deal is.. If we convert all our 
documentation files to the UNIX (binary-mode) standard we'll all save 
lots of diskspace. Sure, you run into the problem of editing (edit.exe
won't work) but that can easily be rectified.. From what I understand,
RHIDE can properly load/modify/save UNIX-style .info files.. Why not 
make the switch?
