Indeed so. Things could be a lot easier if we didn't have to support NT
users editting eCos source files with editors that don't support LFs
without CRs (like Notepad!).

But we mustn't forget the possibility that your problem is because of some
quirk with win 98. Your problem is not a commonly reported one. So I want
to find out the actual cause if possible.
