Re: [9fans] Mac OS X Drawterm Oddity

That's not a newline, that's a carriage return. Two different things.  
OS X automatically converts the two formats - which are used by  
different computer operating systems - and some editors allow you to  
do it manually. Windows uses a carriage return followed by a newline.

 From nemo's guide, if you give a Plan 9 a Windows file, it would  
look like
	a(cr)
	b
But if you give Windows a Plan 9 file, it would look like an a with a  
b on top. OS X doesn't care.
