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.
