I don't know if this will help but VA Smalltalk has a global variable (a<br>
string in a pool dictionary) called "LineDelimiter". When the image starts<br>
up it checks to see what platform (OS) it is running on and sets it to CrLf<br>
or Lf as appropriate. This allows developers to use LineDelimiter wherever<br>
they want (where they need to match the platform) and not need to check the<br>
platform all over the place. Maybe it will make life a little easier for<br>
you.<br>
