Subject: re: sam for 95/nt
Date: Mon, 17 Feb 1997 11:54:19 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <97Feb17.115507est.24620@hawkwind.utcs.utoronto.ca> (raw)

    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...

Making a file with the commands 
,s/<CR>//g
,s/$/<CR>/g

is helpful, the sam equivalent of /acme/edit/guide.
(I haven't figured out how to type a CR, and just copy them
from other text files).  Another way to add CR's is to open
and close the file in MS-DOS Edit.

One thing that would be very nice is if Shift-Right Button
brought up the middle button menu (cut-paste-etc.), as it
does in Plan 9.
