Amazing or not, that’s the way it is and software developers should have
that in mind.

Yes. The software developers of Notepad. Do you really expect a Mac
text-editor to work the Microsoft way because MS Notepad can’t read a text
file properly?
I have very grudgingly updated the file and will probably not do so again (my
co-webmasters may do so but I believe I’m allowed a certain amount of
decisions-of-priniciple in my voluntary job). I can see no indication that
this is an invalid LDraw file 1 and resent being forced to change because
of the laziness (or more sinister motives) of MS programmers.
I strongly suggest getting a decent text editor as there are plenty of free
ones out there (I recommend NoteTab Lite).

1 Is there a spec on what form of newline to use? If there is and it
forces DOS newlines then I will make sure they are used in future.

Following further information about compatibility in some LDraw software I will
ensure that subsequent MPDs posted to the website are in DOS format. I assume
something will be posted about these compatibility issues soon.
