Re: Don't like Unix text handling - not happy MS
Sorry, what?
UNIX's newline convention came from Multics', Windows' came from DOS' which came from CP/M which came from DEC.
No standard describes which newline convention is right, however the good thing about one byte (including old-style Mac's CR) is that it's easier to program with and the printer driver decides what characters to send for new line, whereas DEC was wedded to one particular teletype.
