Re: CR/LF, what a waste of bandwidth! 1/2 :)

Re: \010: Was it really a GPF?  LDLite should have hit the
characters, recognized them as garbage, and ignored the
line, and maybe exit-ed without doing anything. If it was a
GPF, I'll try and duplicate the problem.

You're right -- the data being output by the ldraw.cgi script was only using
LF when it should have been using CRLF.  The script was written specifically
to work with LDLITE, which handles plain-LF newlines, but since LDLITE can
save files to disk and since LDRAW and LEDIT are DOS programs, CRLF is better
all-around.  LDAO is a Windows app but Windows still uses CRLF. • [...]
p.s.  Paul:  while testing the change to the script, I accidentally wrote
   print "$_\013\010";
when I meant to write
   print "$_\013\012";
\010 is ASCII backspace and it caused LDLITE 1.5 to GPF on me.  No biggie but
you probably wanna know.
