using text files unix<->windows<-> macintosh tip


using textfiles for saving in unix text format from a
windows editor is a breeze such as the editor
http://www.editpadlite.com/ The lite freeware version
is an alternative if you need to make some change now
and don't have a working vim or pico at hand for
startup scripts... you can immediately change the
end-of-the-line newline hexcode hassles with this
speedy editor (unix<->win32<->mac as well).. this is
good for ascii files and shouldn't be used on files
under the cygwin branch tree while running
cygwin..editpad automatically recognizes the text end
of line format and gets worked with it
accordingly...just a tip if you need to rescue a
profile file and need to have things working properly
for cygwin startup scripts...
