I regularly get text files where a new line is indicated by 0D 0D 0A. When I view those files in a text editor like UltraEdit all is well, but when I view them with the Lister in TC every line is followed by an empty line.
I haven't been able to find an option in TC that will display these text correctly. Am I missing something obvious here??
Unix (?) text files display problem

Hello !
• In UNIX texts, there is a single character only to show the line-end.
• Lister is designed for DOS / Win texts where there are two line-end characters (#10 and #13)
• This could explain the empty row following the full row...
• There is none option for UNIX text, thought the "Automatic" option could recognize it (that is done in another feature for FTP...).
• Whether isn't a small bug (?) it's worth to be added on the Author's wish-list. I attempted to display UNIX texts directly from servers, that works in Lister, but I couldn't reproduice exactly that you describe.
Kind regards,
Claude

I've been googling on those ODODA line endings and they're certainly non-standard. They seem to occur with some MSDOS commands and when transfering text files thru FTP using the wrong settings. The funny thing is that not only UltraEdit seems to understand this convention and leave out the extraneous empty lines, Notepad does as well! I wonder if there are other text editors around that do this. If this is the case, perhaps TC's lister should as well.
