After read all this and also after I have had a look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_feed I think that Tore is right by
saying "read all and save secure".
Do avoid for future discussions this should be mentioned also in the
LDraw Specification. Otherwise in some weeks we will have a same
discussion again, because who cares about a line ending? It should work.
But if the community uses different systems we will have that problem
over the years again and again.
I just have updated DATHeader to also read unix files, but always write
DOS files.
