In summary -- a lovely piece of work. Just what we've all been waiting for.
One minor caveat, though -- under 95 (don't know about NT) it adopts the
Unix-y (and indeed right-thinking) LF as newline.... which means it's not
ideal for editing Windows text files which use CR/LF -- (A) it shows the CR
half of CR/LF as a CR character and (B) it makes it a tad tricky to use
files produced with Sam with utilities that aren't wise to the rest of the
world's conventions on newline...
I suppose this is the *logically* correct behaviour, but to push Sam as an
editor which the Windows-user community will use, perhaps it should do the
wrong but *visually* sensible thing :)
Thoughts -- would it be difficult to bodge sam to treat CR/LF as one rune
under Windows?
