[seqfan] Re: End of line characters in b-files

I recommend that you find some way to automate this on the receiving 
end.
There are some Windows/DOS programs capable of generating LF only, but
the standard ones that everybody has do not have this ability.

Me:  Thanks for asking!  This is indeed a source of problems.

We strongly prefer having each line end with the single character LF
(because that is the unix standard format).  The other format (DOS 
format)
has to be changed by me (individually for each file!).

Thanks!
