I guess I should take note of this bit of info. Now I have some productive use for my hex editor other than just debugging; I guess it would be useful to replace standard UNIX line-feed characters with DOS carriage-return + line-feed combos and vice versa from within my hex editor when I transfer text files among my computers; I've had issues in the past with text files from other operating systems, and maybe this is the cause. So thanks, y'all.
