I was hoping you wouldn't say that
See, I figured there must be some trick or something, because when I simply add a new line like that (by opening in TextWrangler and hitting Enter at the end of the line), my output gets... weird.
This is a short example of what it was doing when I first posted.
FirstLine.txt:
Quote:
ProductID|Name|Price|Color
kids.txt:
Quote:
24234232|Thing|2.50|Red
24324242|Item|3.50|Blue
23423422|This|4.50|Black
cat FirstLine.txt kids.txt > readyToProcess.txt
Quote:
ProductID|Name|Price|Color24234232|Thing|2.50|Red
24324242|Item|3.50|Blue
23423422|This|4.50|Black
After adding the new line to FirstLine.txt, I try cat'ing again, but this time, the resulting readyToProcess.txt file looks like this:
Quote:
ProductID|Name|Price|Color
24234232|Thing|2.50|Red
24324242|Item|3.50|Blue
23423422|This|4.50|Black
So, it added the first line great - but why on earth would it throw an extra line break between all the rest of the lines in the file?

desktop_palette
desktop_palette(3alleg4) Allegro manual desktop_palette(3alleg4)
NAME
desktop_palette - The palette used by the Atari ST low resolution desktop. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
extern PALETTE desktop_palette;
DESCRIPTION
The palette used by the Atari ST low resolution desktop. I'm not quite sure why this is still here, except that the grabber and test pro-
grams use it. It is probably the only Atari legacy code left in Allegro, and it would be a shame to remove it :-)
The contents of this palette are 16 colors repeated 16 times. Color entry zero is equal to color entry 16, which is equal to color entry
24, etc.
Index Color RGB values
0 White 63 63 63
1 Red 63 0 0
2 Green 0 63 0
3 Yellow 63 63 0
4 Blue 0 0 63
5 Pink 63 0 63
6 Cyan 0 63 63
7 Grey 16 16 16
8 Light grey 31 31 31
9 Light red 63 31 31
10 Light green 31 63 31
11 Light yellow 63 63 31
12 Light blue 31 31 63
13 Light pink 63 31 63
