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? pete -- Pete Fenelon, Infocom UK Ltd. pete.fenelon@info-com.com
