<div>In fact, no way to use MutliBytFileStream (except as CrLfFileStream new, from that obsoleted class) really use it (exceptions being FileList and BDFFontReader). This is annoying on a system that doesn't use cr as the default line endings (are there any left?).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Further, if you do set it up to detect line endings, as far as I can tell, it never actually does any conversions!</div><div><br></div><div>Would anyone mind if I finished putting the CrLfFileStream functionality into MultiByteFileStream? and if I did it, would anyone else use it?</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I would be pleased! I can't promise to use it, but I /want/ to produce a build server for WIndows that includes producing VM source, building it, etc, and as part of that I would test that sources can be produced *without* CR-LF, but with plain LF line-endings.</div>
